Situations in which the rates are unfairly discriminatory under RCW 48.29.143(1) include, but are not limited to:

(1) Negotiation or bidding of price;

(2) Rating rules that do not have a definite charge for every bracket of coverage;

(3) Discounts not provided to all qualifying risks;

(4) Rating plans in which policies:

(a) Generating higher premiums subsidize smaller policies; or

(b) From one geographical area subsidize those from another geographical area.

For example, it is unfairly discriminatory for a title insurer to use different rate schedules for business produced by different title insurance agents in a specific rating territory.
