LR 2485
Item 1

 
uniform standard has no further force and effect in that state
unless and until the legislation or regulation implementing the
opting out is repealed or otherwise becomes ineffective under the
laws of the state.__If a compacting state opts out of a uniform
standard after the uniform standard has been made effective in that
state, the opting out has the same prospective effect as provided
under section 2485 for withdrawals.

 
6.__Stay of uniform standard.__If a compacting state has
formally initiated the process of opting out of a uniform
standard by regulation, and while the regulatory opting out is
pending, the compacting state may petition the commission, at
least 15 days before the effective date of the uniform standard,
to stay the effectiveness of the uniform standard in that state.__
The commission may grant a stay if it determines the regulatory
opting out is being pursued in a reasonable manner and there is a
likelihood of success.__If a stay is granted or extended by the
commission, the stay or extension may postpone the effective date
by up to 90 days, unless the stay is affirmatively extended by
the commission.__A stay may not be permitted to remain in effect
for more than one year unless the compacting state can show
extraordinary circumstances that warrant a continuance of the
stay, including, but not limited to, the existence of a legal
challenge that prevents the compacting state from opting out.__A
stay may be terminated by the commission upon notice that the
rule-making process has been terminated.

 
7.__Petition for judicial review of rule or operating
procedure.__Not later than 30 days after a rule or operating
procedure is promulgated, any person may file a petition for
judicial review of the rule or operating procedure.__The filing
of such a petition does not stay or otherwise prevent the rule or
operating procedure from becoming effective unless the court
finds that the petitioner has a substantial likelihood of
success.__The court shall give deference to the actions of the
commission consistent with applicable law and may not find the
rule or operating procedure to be unlawful if the rule or
operating procedure represents a reasonable exercise of the
commission's authority.

 
§2479.__Commission records and enforcement -- Article 8

 
1.__Public inspection and copying of information and records.__
The commission shall promulgate rules establishing conditions and
procedures for public inspection and copying of its information
and official records, except information and records involving
the privacy of individuals and insurers' trade secrets.__The
commission may promulgate additional rules under which it may
make available to federal and state agencies, including law
enforcement agencies, records and information
