(a) The General Assembly finds and concludes that the system of bodily injury liability, basic and added reparations benefits and uninsured and underinsured motorist insurance, as amended by the provisions of public act 93-297*, will generate premium savings for policyholders with such coverages.
(b) Each insurer licensed to sell private passenger automobile insurance in this state shall refile, with the Insurance Commissioner, its base rates for such coverages to reflect the elimination of mandatory basic and added reparations benefits pursuant to public act 93-297* and any additional premium savings attributable to said act. Such rates shall be refiled, as soon as practicable, for use with policies effective on or after January 1, 1994.
(c) Upon receipt of the initial base rate filing made under this section, the Insurance Commissioner, before permitting such filing to become effective, shall consult with an independent actuary for the purpose of assuring that such rates reflect both (1) the insurer's rates on file on May 1, 1993, adjusted for cost trends from the date of filing to January 1, 1994; and (2) the elimination of mandatory basic and added reparations benefits pursuant to public act 93-297* and any additional premium savings attributable to said act. Such revised rates shall be applicable to all new and renewal policies effective on or after January 1, 1994.
(d) The base rates for bodily injury liability coverage and uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage that are filed subsequent to the initial filing of base rates pursuant to this section shall be subject to prior rate approval in the same manner as in a noncompetitive market pursuant to subdivision (2) of subsection (a) of section 38a-688.
