(1) The commissioner may promulgate and may modify reasonable rules and statistical plans, reasonably adapted to each of the rating systems used, which must be used by each insurer in the recording and reporting of its loss and countrywide expense experience, in order that the experience of all insurers may be made available at least annually in form and detail as necessary to aid the commissioner in determining whether rates comply with the applicable standards of this chapter. The rules and plans may also provide for the recording and reporting of expense experience items that are specially applicable to this state and are not susceptible of determination by a prorating of countrywide expense experience.
