New and revised commercial and personal lines insurance policy forms are required to be filed for prior approval, effective on and after 8-1-10, pursuant to Commissioner Order 10-005-M Rescinding 1997 Exemption Order as explained in Bulletin 2010-02-INS. The form filing requirements explained in this bulletin supersede the non-filing requirements explained in Bulletin 97-03. Commercial and personal lines rules and rates are required to be filed pursuant to MCL 500.2108, MCL 500.2406, MCL 500.2430, MCL 500.2606, and MCL 500.2628.

Alternately, an insurer could exempt from filing any commercial line policy forms, rates, and rules by issuing each policy form for the particular coverage exempted with the prominent disclaimer contained in MCL 500.2236(8)(e)(ii). The exception to this exemption is that workers compensation rules and rates must be filed, even when the prominent disclaimer is used to exempt workers compensation forms.
