AI Summary

  • Insurers must display the prior policy premium prominently alongside the renewal premium when issuing homeowners' or private passenger motor vehicle insurance renewals in Louisiana

  • The distinction between "competitive" and "noncompetitive" insurance markets is eliminated, making all rates subject to review for being excessive, inadequate, or unfairly discriminatory

  • The definition of "excessive" rate is expanded to include unreasonably high profits or unreasonably high expense provisions relative to services rendered

  • The Commissioner of Insurance now determines whether rate filing information is confidential, trade secret, or proprietary, rather than insurers making that designation themselves

  • Insurers have 10 days to request an administrative hearing if they disagree with the commissioner's determination to disclose information they marked as confidential
