Sec. 11. (a) Insurers and third party filers seeking to have a product approved by the commission shall file the product with and pay applicable filing fees to the commission. Nothing in this chapter restricts or otherwise prevents an insurer from filing the insurer's product with the insurance department in any state where the insurer is licensed to conduct the business of insurance, and the filing is subject to the laws of the states where filed.
(b) The commission shall establish appropriate filing and review processes and procedures under commission rules and operating procedures. Notwithstanding any provision in this chapter to the contrary, the commission shall adopt rules to establish conditions and procedures under which the commission will provide public access to product filing information. In establishing any rules, the commission shall consider the interests of the public in having access to the information as well as protection of personal medical and financial information and trade secrets that may be contained in a product filing or supporting information.
(c) Any product approved by the commission may be sold or otherwise issued in the compacting states in which the insurer is legally authorized to do business.
