Ohio Code § 3937.04

§ 3937.04.

(A) If at any time the superintendent of insurance finds that a rate to which sections 3937.01 to 3937.17 of the Revised Code apply does not comply with such sections, he may, after a hearing held upon not less

than twenty days' written notice as provided in division (C) of this section, specifying

the matters to be considered at the hearing, to every insurer and rating organization

that made the rate, issue an order specifying in what respects he finds that the rate

fails to comply, and stating when, within a reasonable period thereafter, the rate

shall be no longer in effect.  Copies of the order shall be sent to such insurer or rating organization.  The order shall not affect any contract or policy made or issued prior to the expiration

of the period set forth in the order. (B) Any person or organization aggrieved with respect to any filing that is in effect

may make written application to the superintendent for a hearing thereon, provided

the insurer or rating organization that made the filing shall not be authorized to

proceed under this division.  The application shall specify the grounds to be relied upon by the applicant.  If the superintendent finds that the application is made in good faith, that the

applicant would be so aggrieved if his grounds are established, and that such grounds

otherwise justify holding such a hearing, he shall, within thirty days after receipt

of the application, hold a hearing upon not less than ten days' written notice to

the applicant and, as provided in division (C) of this section, to every insurer and

rating organization that made the filing.  If, after the hearing, the superintendent finds that the filing does not comply

with sections 3937.01 to 3937.17 of the Revised Code , he shall issue an order specifying in what respects he finds that the filing fails

to comply and stating when, within a reasonable period thereafter, the filing shall

be no longer effective.  Copies of the order shall be sent to the applicant and to every such insurer or

rating organization.  The order shall not affect any contract or policy made or issued prior to the expiration

of the period set forth in the order. (C) Every rating organization receiving a notice of hearing or copy of an order under

division (A) or (B) of this section shall promptly notify all of its members or subscribers

that would be affected by the hearing or order.  Notice to a rating organization of a hearing or order shall be deemed notice to

its members or subscribers.
