(a) [Repealed, § 12 ch 88 SLA 2005.]
(b) If, within 30 days after a specific inland marine rate on a risk especially rated by a rating organization subject to AS 21.39.040(e) has become effective or, if within 30 days after a special surety or guaranty filing subject to AS 21.39.040(e) has become effective, the director finds that the filing does not meet the requirements of this chapter, the director shall send to the rating organization or insurer that made the filing written notice of disapproval of the filing specifying in what respects the filing fails to meet the requirements of this chapter and stating when, within a reasonable period, the filing shall be considered no longer effective. Disapproval shall not affect a contract made or issued before the expiration of the period set out in the notice.
(c) If, at any time subsequent to the applicable review period provided for in AS 21.39.041(a) or 21.39.220(b), the director finds that a filing does not meet the requirements of this title, the director shall, after a hearing held upon not less than 10 days written notice specifying the matters to be considered at the hearing and given to each insurer and rating organization that made the filing, issue an order specifying in what respects the filing fails to meet the requirements of this title and stating when, within a reasonable period thereafter, the filing shall be considered no longer effective. Copies of the order shall be sent to each insurer and rating organization that made the filing. The order may not affect a contract or policy made or issued before the expiration of the period set out in the order.
(d) A person or organization aggrieved by a filing that is in effect may make written application to the director for a hearing, except that the insurer that made the filing may not be authorized to proceed under this subsection. The application shall specify the grounds to be relied upon by the applicant and the application must show that the person or organization making the application has a specific economic interest affected by the filing. If the director finds that the application is made in good faith, that the applicant has a specific economic interest, that the applicant would be so aggrieved if the grounds are established, and that the grounds otherwise justify holding a hearing, the director shall within 30 days after receipt of the application hold a hearing upon not less than 10 days written notice to the applicant and to every insurer and rating organization that made the filing. A rating or advisory organization has status under this chapter to make application for a hearing on a filing made by an insurer with the director. If, after the hearing, the director finds that the filing does not meet the requirements of this chapter, the director shall issue an order specifying in what respects that the filing fails to meet the requirements of this chapter, and stating when, within a reasonable period thereafter, the filing shall be considered no longer effective. Copies of the order shall be sent to the applicant and to every insurer and rating organization that made the filing. The order shall not affect a contract or policy made or issued before the expiration of the period set out in the order.
(e) A filing may not be disapproved if the rates in the filing meet the requirements of this chapter.
