Under what condition can proposed rates by the North Carolina Rate Bureau become effective?

The condition under which proposed rates by the North Carolina Rate Bureau can become effective is after a waiting period of 210 days. This procedure is in place to ensure that there is sufficient time for review and consideration of the proposed rates by the insurance commissioner and any affected parties. The 210-day waiting period allows for the potential assessment of the rates and any necessary adjustments based on the feedback or findings during this time.

This regulatory approach helps maintain stability within the insurance market and provides a structured timeline for the implementation of new rates. It ensures that changes to rates are not made hastily and that stakeholders have an opportunity to understand and respond to proposed adjustments before they take effect.
