(a) The
commissioner, upon the commissioner's own initiative or upon request by an
insurer, shall waive any requirement of this chapter if such waiver does not
contradict the objective or intent of the rule and:
(1) Applying the rule provision would cause
confusion or would be misleading to consumers;
(2) The rule provision is in whole or in part
inapplicable to the given circumstances;
(3) There are specific circumstances unique
to the situation such that strict compliance with the rule would be onerous
without promoting the objective or intent of the rule provision; or
(4) Any other similar extenuating
circumstances exist such that application of an alternative standard or
procedure better promotes the objective or intent of the rule
provision.
(b) No
requirement prescribed by statute shall be waived unless expressly authorized
by law.
(c) Any person or entity
seeking a waiver shall make a request in writing.
(d) A request for a waiver shall specify the
basis for the waiver and proposed alternative, if any.
