from any action or decision of the rating organization in approving or rejecting any

a proposed addition to its filings, the commissioner may, in the event the commissioner
finds that the action or decision was unreasonable, issue an order directing the rating
organization to make an addition to its filings, on behalf of its members and subscribers,
in a manner consistent with the commissioner's findings, within a reasonable time
after the issuance of the order; provided, if the appeal is from the action of the
rating organization with regard to a rate on a proposed change in or addition to its
filings relating to the character and extent of coverage, the commissioner shall approve
the rate applied by the rating organization or the rate suggested by the appellant
if either rate is in accordance with this chapter.
