Section 2642.1 - Excessive

"Excessive" rates are rates that are expected to yield the reasonably efficient insurer a profit that exceeds a fair return on the investment used to provide the insurance. In determining whether a rate is excessive, the Commissioner shall consider the competing interests of consumers in lower prices and of investors in prices that yield high returns, and the Commissioner shall consider the fact that insurance is imbued with the public interest and is sometimes legally required.
