A. Every advisory organization which makes its own rates shall provide within this state reasonable means whereby any insured aggrieved by the application of its rating system may, upon that insured's written request, be heard in person or by the insured's authorized representative to review the manner in which such rating system has been applied in connection with the insurance afforded the aggrieved insurer.
B. An insurer or any party affected by the action of an advisory organization may, within thirty (30) days after written notice of that action, make application, in writing, for an appeal to the Insurance Commissioner, setting forth the basis for the appeal and the grounds to be relied upon by the applicant.
C. Within thirty (30) days, the Commissioner shall review the application and, if the Commissioner finds that the application is made in good faith and that it sets forth on its face grounds which reasonably justify holding a hearing, the Commissioner shall conduct a hearing held not less than ten (10) days after written notice to the applicant and to the advisory organization. The Commissioner, after a hearing, shall affirm or reverse the action of the advisory organization.
