NOTICE OF HEARING

 

            Pursuant to Hawaii Revised Statutes (“HRS”) section 431:10C-410 and section 91-9.5, notice is hereby given that the Insurance Division (“Division”) will hold a public hearing on May 8, 2025 at 10:00 A.M. in the Princess Likelike Conference Room, 3rd Floor, King Kalakaua Building, Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs, 335 Merchant Street, Honolulu, Hawaii 96813, to hear all persons interested in AIPSO Filing No. HI 25-04 which was submitted by AIPSO to the Division on behalf of the Hawai‘i Joint Underwriting Plan (“HJUP”).

            The purpose of the filing is to combine the two classes of Non-CPAI private passenger data—Non-CPAI high risk insureds and others unable to obtain coverage (i.e., HRS § 431:10C-407(B)(1)(E) Eligible Insureds Only)—due to an extremely low volume.  The following has been proposed: 

a.       Adopt the prospective loss costs specified in HIB Reference Filing Numbers CA-2024-BRLA1.  The Hawaii Plan rates will be a combination of prospective loss costs and involuntary loss cost multipliers, which reproduce the +127% indicated rate need.  These coverage level changes were then capped at +/-25% for all coverages except property damage which was capped at +40% due to its large +308.2% indicated rate need, resulting in an overall proposed rate change of +0.3%. 

b.      The adoption of relatives between high-risk insureds and others unable to obtain coverage.  The relatives will be based on the current relationship between the high risk and eligible insureds rate sets.  Specifically, it is recommended that the high risk insured rates be calculated at the following relatives to the eligible insureds only rates:

                                i.            Bodily injury: 1.800

                              ii.            Property damage: 1.000 

                            iii.            Personal injury protection: 1.600
