Current law establishes that workers' compensation insurance rate filings are open to public inspection. Senate Bill 978 amends the Insurance Code to subject such rate filings to state public information law, including any applicable exception from required disclosure under that law. The bill also requires the Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) to annually make available to the public information concerning TDI's general process and methodology for reviewing workers' compensation insurance rates.
