RE: Rate Manual Filing Requirements

In accordance with the authority set forth in Chapter 13 of Title 27, Code of Alabama

1975, property, casualty and surety insurers are required to file with this department

a copy of any and all insurance rules and rate manuals, etc., prior to using them

in this state. These filings are deemed approved as filed if not disapproved by

this Department within thirty (30) days of our receipt of the filing.

Henceforth, when a rule and rate manual is being amended, insurers are required

to file the proposed revisions, along with an explanatory memorandum. After the

revisions have been approved, insurers shall then file a new, complete rule and

rate manual with this office. Even when the revision or revisions are to a small

portion of the manual, we expect a new rule and rate manual which completely supercedes

the previously approved manual.
