§ 10. RATES AND POLICY FORMS.
Official statutory text
(a) The rates, rating plans, rating rules, rating classification, territories, and policy forms that apply to liability insurance written by the association and the statistics relating to that insurance coverage are governed by Subchapter B, Chapter 5, of this code, except to the extent that this article is in conflict. This article prevails over any conflict with Subchapter B, Chapter 5, of this code.
(b) In carrying out its responsibilities under Subsection (a) of this section, the board shall give due consideration to the past and prospective loss and expense experience, as available, for liability insurance covering nonprofit organizations inside and outside this state for all member companies of the association, trends in frequency and severity of losses, the investment income of the association, and other information the board may require.
(c) After the initial year of operation for the association, rates, rating plans, and rating rules and any provision for recoupment shall be based on the association's loss and expense experience to the extent credible, together with other information based on that experience. The board of directors shall engage the services of an independent actuarial firm to develop and recommend actuarially sound rates, rating plans, and rating rules and classifications. Those recommendations shall become effective unless, after hearing and not later than the 30th day after the date the recommendations are submitted, the commissioner determines the recommendations to be arbitrary and capricious.
