(1) With respect
to type I kinds of insurance as defined in section 10-4-401 (3)(a), every insurer shall
file with the commissioner every manual of classifications, rules, and rates, every
rating plan, and every modification of any of the foregoing which it proposes to use
in this state.

(2) (a) Every filing shall state the proposed effective date thereof and shall
indicate the character and extent of the coverage contemplated. Filings regarding
workers' compensation insurance rates shall be filed on or before August 1 of any
calendar year. When a filing is not accompanied by the information upon which the
insurer supports the filing and the commissioner does not have sufficient
information to determine whether the filing meets the requirements of this part 4,
he shall, within fifteen days after the date of filing, require the insurer to furnish the
information upon which it supports the filing, and in such event the waiting period
provided for in section 10-4-406 (2) shall commence as of the date such information
is furnished.

(b) The information furnished in support of a filing may include: The
experience or judgment of the insurer or rating organization making the filing; its
interpretation of any statistical data it relied upon; the experience of other insurers
or rating organizations; or any other factors which the insurer or rating organization
deems relevant.

(3) A filing and any supporting information shall be open to public inspection
at the division of insurance.

(4) An insurer may satisfy its obligation to make such filings by becoming a
member of, or a subscriber to, a licensed rating organization which makes such
filings and by authorizing the commissioner to accept such filings in its behalf; but
nothing contained in this title shall be construed as requiring any insurer to become
a member of, or a subscriber to, any rating organization.

(5) Upon the written application of the insured, stating his reasons therefor,
filed with and approved by the commissioner, a rate in excess of that provided by
filing, otherwise applicable, may be used on any specific risk, and such application
shall not be subject to any of the provisions of section 10-4-406.
