20-375. Making of title insurance rates
A. Every title insurer that shall make its own rates, and every title insurance rating organization, shall make rates that are not excessive nor inadequate for the safety and soundness of any title insurer, that do not unfairly discriminate between risks in this state which involve essentially the same exposure to loss and expense elements, and that give due consideration to all of the following matters:
1. The desirability for stability of rate structures.
2. The necessity, by encouraging growth in assets of title insurers in periods of high business activity, of assuring the financial solvency of title insurers in periods of economic depression.
3. The necessity for paying dividends on the capital stock of title insurers sufficient to induce capital to be invested therein.
B. Every title insurer that shall make its own rates, and every title insurance rating organization, shall adopt basic classifications of policies or contracts of title insurance which shall be used as the basis for rates.
C. Rates within each rate classification may, at the discretion of the title insurer which files its own rates, or at the discretion of the title insurance rating organization, be less than the cost of the expense elements in the case of smaller insurance policies or contracts, and the excess may be charged against the larger insurance policies or contracts without rendering the rates unfairly discriminatory.
D. There shall be no combined rate for the issuance of title insurance policies and escrow services rendered in connection with such insurance.
