I. Every insurer and advisory organization shall file policy forms, endorsements, and other contract language covered by this chapter and RSA 264, for a waiting period of 30 days before it becomes effective, which period may be extended by the commissioner for an additional period not to exceed 30 days if written notice or electronic notice is given within the initial 30-day waiting period to the insurer or advisory organization which made the filing that additional time is needed for the consideration of the filing. Upon written application by the insurer or advisory organization, the commissioner may authorize a filing which has been reviewed to become effective before the expiration of the waiting period or extension thereof. The commissioner may disapprove such form if it contains a provision that does not comply with the requirements of law, is not in the public interest, is contrary to public policy, is inequitable, misleading, deceptive, or encourages misrepresentation of such policy. An approved filing and any supporting information that is not exempt from disclosure by law or rule shall be open to public inspection on or after the effective date of the filing. A filing shall be deemed to meet the requirements of this chapter unless disapproved by the commissioner within the waiting period or extension thereof. Every policy issued by an insurer on an unapproved form shall constitute a separate violation under RSA 412:40. II. No liability policy issued or delivered in this state shall contain any exclusion which would preclude coverage for intra-family or inter-spousal claims. III. An insurer may authorize an advisory organization to file policy forms, endorsements and other contract language on its behalf. IV. Every insurer and advisory organization shall provide reasonable means whereby any person aggrieved by the application of an insurer's rating system, claims practices, sales practices or underwriting procedures may be heard, in person or by an authorized representative, upon the person's written request to review the manner in which such procedures were applied in connection with insurance afforded or tendered to the person.
