(b) Statistical plans and rules shall be promulgated for the recording and reporting of expense experience on a country-wide basis. Such rules and plans may also provide for the recording and reporting of expense experience items which are specially applicable to this state and are not susceptible of determination by a prorating of country-wide expense experience.

(c) In order to further uniform administration of rate regulatory laws, the superintendent and every insurer and rate service organization may exchange information and experience data with insurance supervisory officials, insurers, and rate service organizations in other states and may consult with them with respect to rate making and the application of rating systems. Reasonable rules and plans may be promulgated by the superintendent for the interchange of data necessary for the application of rating plans. In the promulgation of statistical plans and rules the superintendent shall give consideration to the rating systems on file with him and, in order that such rules and plans may be as uniform as is practicable among the several states, to the rules and to the form of the plans in other states.

(d) No plan, rule or regulation, or amendment thereto, shall be promulgated by the superintendent pursuant to subsection (a), (b) or (c) hereof except upon notice, and after hearing, to every rate service organization affected thereby. No such plan, rule or regulation, or amendment thereto, shall become effective less than sixty days after promulgation.

(e) The willful withholding of information from, or giving of false or misleading information to, the compensation insurance rating board or any other rate service organization or any insurer or the superintendent or any statistical agency designated by the superintendent, which will in any way affect the rate or premium chargeable to any assured or group of assureds shall constitute a violation of this chapter and also be subjected to the penalty provided for in subsection (e) of section two thousand three hundred twenty-one of this article.
