Proceedings by aggrieved persons - False or misleading information - Withholding policy or evidence. A. All schedules and insurance rates and supporting information filed in accordance with the provisions of this article shall be open to inspection to the public after such filings are made. B.

C. Every advisory organization and every insurer which makes its own rates shall provide within the state reasonable means whereby any person, aggrieved by the application of its rating system, may be heard, in person or by his authorized representative, on his written request to revise the manner in which such rating system has been applied in connection with the insurance afforded him.

D. No insurer, agent, broker, or advisory organization may willfully withhold required information from or give false or misleading information to the Commissioner. E. No insurer, agent, or broker shall fail to furnish to an insured any policy or comparable evidence of insurance to which the insured is entitled.
