Such revised rates shall be applicable to all new and renewal policies effective on or after January 1, 1994. (d) The base rates for bodily injury liability coverage and uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage that are filed subsequent to the initial filing of base rates pursuant to this section shall be subject to prior rate approval in the same manner as in a noncompetitive market pursuant to subdivision (2) of subsection (a) of section 38a-688 . *Note: Public act 93-297 is entitled “An Act Concerning Automobile Insurance Reform”.
