Pursuant to RCW 48.30.010, it shall be an unfair practice to:
- (1) Contrive to set the premiums at the time of repricing so as to reduce, postpone or avoid cash values.
- (2) Recoup past losses or distribute past gains when repricing the policies, when defining the current interest to be credited, or when determining mortality, morbidity or expenses to be charged.
- (3) Increase the interest credited to present a more competitive rate while at the same time increasing the mortality, morbidity, expense or other charge or to adjust these and other rates in a similar manner, unless justified by actual company experience.
- (4) Review less than all pricing assumptions at repricing or setting of the current credits and charges, thereby upsetting the consistent and equitable treatment of the policyholders.
- (5) Add additional pricing variables to the definition of a class of insureds after issue, without the prior written approval of the commissioner.
- (6) Separate one class of insureds into two or more classes after issue, without the prior written approval of the commissioner.
- (7) Adjust premiums, interest credits, expenses and loads other than with respect to an entire class of insureds.
- (8) Treat renewing policyholders in a manner inconsistent or inequitably with new policyholders.
- (9) Have one class of insureds support, or be supported by, another class.
