20-392. Rate agreements among insurers prohibited A. Except with respect to apportionment agreements among insurers approved by the director pursuant to section 20-395, an insurer shall not assume any obligation to any person, other than a policyholder or other insurers which, with it, are under common control or management or are members of a joint underwriting or joint reinsurance organization, to use or adhere to certain rates or rules. No person other than the director may impose any penalty or other adverse consequence for failure of an insurer to adhere to certain rates or rules. B. Members and subscribers of rate service organizations or advisory organizations may use the work products and services of such organizations as their individual judgment may dictate. Such use by two or more authorized insurers shall not be sufficient to support a finding that an agreement to adhere exists and may be used only for the purpose of supplementing direct evidence of such an agreement. |
