(a)      Insurers or rating organizations shall establish and

    insurer a reasonable rate of return on the classes of insurance
    written in this state. A copy of rates, rating schedules, rating
    manuals, premium credits or discount schedules, and surcharge
    schedules, and changes thereto, must be filed with the office
    under one of the following procedures:
1.      If the filing is made at least 90 days before the
    proposed effective date and is not implemented during the
    office's review of the filing and any proceeding and judicial
    review, such filing is considered a "file and use" filing. In

    corrections, or notification to the insurer by the office of its
    preliminary findings does not toll the 90-day period during any
    such proceedings and subsequent judicial review. The rate shall
    be deemed approved if the office does not issue a notice of
    intent to approve or a notice of intent to disapprove within 90

2.      If the filing is not made in accordance with
    subparagraph 1., such filing must be made as soon as
    practicable, but within 30 days after the effective date, and is
    considered a "use and file" filing. An insurer making a "use and

    after January 25, 2007, but before May 1, 2012, an insurer
    seeking a rate that is greater than the rate most recently
    approved by the office shall make a "file and use" filing. For
    purposes of this subparagraph, motor vehicle collision and
    comprehensive coverages are not considered property coverages.
4.      The office may not approve any property insurance
    filings made or submitted on or after July 1, 2026, if the
    proposed rate is more than 10 percent above the highest rate
    approved by the office within the past 12 months. If multiple
    rate filings occur within a 12-month period, the office may not
    approve a total cumulative increase that is more than 15 percent
    above the highest approved rate within the past 12 months.
    The provisions of this subsection do not apply to workers'
    compensation, employer's liability insurance, and motor vehicle
    insurance.
