Individual insurance companies must file with the Insurance Department to adopt the voluntary market advisory loss costs (loss portion of a rate). The Commissioner has waived the normal 30-day waiting period so that companies may adopt the overall lower rates effective Jan. 1, 2001. The new rates are effective Jan. 1, 2001, for employers in the Assigned Risk Plan.
