Art. 5.05. REPORTS ON EXPERIENCE. (a) Recording and Reporting of Loss Experience and Other Data. The Board shall, after due consideration, promulgate reasonable rules and statistical plans, which may be modified from time to time and which shall be used thereafter by each insurer in the recording and reporting of its loss experience and such other data as may be required, in order that the total loss and expense experience of all insurers may be made available at least annually in such form and detail as may be necessary to aid in determining whether rates and rating systems in use under this subchapter comply with the standards adopted under this subchapter. In promulgating such rules, the Board shall provide that rules be as uniform as is practicable to the rules and to the form of the statistical plans used in other states. (b) Interchange of Rating Plan Data. Reasonable rules may be promulgated by the Board after due consideration to allow the interchange of loss experience information as necessary for the application of rating plans. (c) Consultation with other States. In order to further uniform administration of rating laws, the Board and every insurer and rating organization may exchange information and experience data with insurance supervisory officials, insurers and rating organizations in other states and may consult and cooperate with them with respect to rate-making and the application of rating systems. (d) The Board is hereby authorized and empowered to require sworn statements from any insurer affected by this article, showing its experience on any classification or classifications of risks and such other information which may be necessary or helpful in performing duties or authority imposed by law. The Board shall prescribe the necessary forms for such statements and reports, having due regard to the rules, methods and forms in use in other states for similar purposes in order that uniformity of statistics may not be disturbed.
