(a) Each insurance company which issues in this state automobile liability policies as defined in section 38a-341 insuring against loss resulting from liability for damages because of bodily injury or death of any person and injury to or destruction of property arising out of the ownership, maintenance or use of a specific motor vehicle or motor vehicles, shall file with the Insurance Commissioner the rules and regulations, or any modifications of such rules and regulations, used by such company to determine whether or not to underwrite such policies. (b) Such rules and regulations, or modification of such rules and regulations, shall be on file with the commissioner for a waiting period of thirty days before they become effective. The commissioner may extend the waiting period for an additional extension period not to exceed thirty days if the commissioner gives the insurance company that made the filing written notice within the waiting period. The written notice shall indicate that the commissioner needs additional time to consider the filing. Upon written application by such insurance company, the commissioner may authorize a filing that the commissioner has reviewed to become effective before the expiration of the waiting period or any extension period. A filing shall be deemed approved unless disapproved by the commissioner within the waiting period or any extension period. If, within the waiting period or any extension period, the commissioner disapproves the filing, the commissioner shall send the insurance company that made such filing written notice of disapproval, specifying the reasons for disapproval, and stating that such filing shall not become effective. Such finding of the commissioner shall be subject to review as provided in section 38a-19 .
