If approved, the proposed rate decrease would take effect January 1, 2019 for new and renewal policies. This is NCCI’s experience filing that is made every year, and NCCI pointed to improved loss experience as the reason for the decrease.
The Office of Insurance Regulation (OIR) will have to approve or ask NCCI to modify the filing before it takes effect.
