(A) Insurers and third-party filers seeking to have a product approved by the commission shall file the product with, and pay applicable filing fees to, the commission. Nothing in this chapter may be construed to restrict or otherwise prevent an insurer from filing its product with the insurance department in a state in which the insurer is licensed to conduct the business of insurance, and the filing is subject to the laws of the states where filed.

(B) The commission shall establish appropriate filing and review processes and procedures pursuant to commission rules and operating procedures. Notwithstanding another provision of law, the commission shall adopt rules to establish conditions and procedures under which the commission shall provide public access to product filing information. In establishing the rules, the commission shall consider the interests of the public in having access to the information, as well as protection of personal medical and financial information and trade secrets, that may be contained in a product filing or supporting information.

(C) A product approved by the commission may be sold or otherwise issued in those compacting states for which the insurer is legally authorized to do business.
