AI Summary

This bill amends Section 52D of Chapter 152 of the General Laws to provide a process for members or subscribers of a workers' compensation rating organization to appeal the organization's decisions regarding proposed changes or additions to its filings. The bill grants the commissioner the authority to hold a hearing and issue an order approving or rejecting the rating organization's action, and allows the commissioner to direct the rating organization to make an addition to its filings if the commissioner finds the organization's rejection was unreasonable. The bill also requires rating organizations and insurers to provide information about their rating systems to affected parties and to provide a process for hearing grievances about the application of those rating systems.
