70A.19 INFORMATION TO BE FURNISHED INSUREDS; HEARING AND APPEALS
OF INSUREDS.
Every rate service organization and every insurer which makes its own rates shall, within
a reasonable time after receiving written request therefor, furnish to any insured affected by a
rate made by it, or to the authorized representative of that insured, all pertinent information as
to that rate. Every rate service organization and every insurer which makes its own rates shall
provide within this state reasonable means whereby any person aggrieved by the application of its
rating system may be heard, in person or by an authorized representative, on a written request to
review the manner in which that rating system has been applied in connection with the insurance
afforded. If the rate service organization or insurer fails to grant or reject any such request within
30 days after it is made, the applicant may proceed in the same manner as if the application had
been rejected. Any party affected by the action of a rate service organization or insurer on any
such request may, within 30 days after written notice of such action, appeal to the commissioner
who, after a hearing held upon not less than ten days' written notice to the appellant and to the rate
service organization or insurer, may affirm or reverse its action.
