Such contract and rate deviation shall be subject to challenge by the Commissioner for a period of ten days after filing. If such challenge is upheld, the insurer shall be required to use its regular filed rates for the first 30 days of coverage in accordance with the requirements of applicable law. If there is no challenge or if a challenge is not upheld, the contract and rate deviation agreed upon may be used from and after the effective date of the binder.
