Section Ins 3.25 (13) (c), Wis. Adm. Code, provides that on or before October 1, 1990, and each three years after that, the Commissioner shall give written notice to all authorized insurers specifying the prima facie premium rates to be effective for the three-year period beginning on the next January 1. Such rates are to be determined based on experience data submitted by all insurers for the immediately preceding three calendar years. The experience for years 1993, 1994, and 1995 indicates that no rate changes are required at this time. Therefore, pursuant to s. Ins 3.25 (13) (c), Wis. Adm. Code, please consider this bulletin as written notice that
the current prima facie premium rates will continue to be effective for the three-year period beginning on January 1, 1997. Tables of current rates can be obtained by contacting this office.
