Section 162D.

The insurer shall be allowed a variation in the commission paid to each agent of not more than plus or minus ten per cent of the dollar commission established in the commissioner's findings; provided, however, the insurer shall be required to pay to its agents all of the commission dollars allowed in the rates as commissions. Nothing in this act shall prevent any insurer from paying any additional compensation in the form of commission overrides, bonuses, profit sharing benefits and expense reimbursements.
