§ 36-904. Inspection of filed rates - Information to insured Proceedings by aggrieved persons - False or misleading information Withholding policy or evidence

A. All schedules and insurance rates and supporting information

filed in accordance with the provisions of this article shall be

open to inspection to the public after such filings are made.

B. Every advisory organization and every insurer which makes

its own rates shall, within a reasonable time after receiving

written request therefor and upon payment of such reasonable charge

as it may make, furnish to any insured affected by a rate made by

it, or to the authorized representative of such insured, all

pertinent information as to such rate.

C. Every advisory organization and every insurer which makes

its own rates shall provide within the state reasonable means

whereby any person, aggrieved by the application of its rating

system, may be heard, in person or by his authorized representative,

on his written request to revise the manner in which such rating

system has been applied in connection with the insurance afforded

him. If the advisory organization or insurer fails to grant or

reject such request, within thirty (30) days after it is made, this

applicant may proceed in the same manner as if his application had

been rejected. Any party affected by the action of such advisory

organization or such insurer on such request may, within thirty (30)

days after written notice of such action, appeal to the Insurance

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 36. Insurance

Commissioner, which, after a hearing held upon not less than ten

(10) days written notice to the appellant and to such advisory

organization or insurer, may modify, affirm or reverse such action.

D. No insurer, agent, broker, or advisory organization may

willfully withhold required information from or give false or

misleading information to the Commissioner.

E. No insurer, agent, or broker shall fail to furnish to an

insured any policy or comparable evidence of insurance to which the

insured is entitled.
