Each workers' compensation insurer shall be a member of the workers' compensation insurance rate service organization. Each workers' compensation insurer shall adhere to the policy forms and rating rules filed by the designated rate service organization.
Every workers' compensation insurer shall adhere to a uniform classification system and uniform experience and retrospective rating plans that have been filed with the commissioner by the designated rate service organization and approved by the commissioner.
