231.11 Schedule of rates; storing household goods. 

    In order to insure nondiscriminatory rates and charges for 
 all depositors of household goods, the commissioner shall 
 establish a collective rate-making procedure which will insure 
 the publication and maintenance of just and reasonable rates and 
 charges under uniform, reasonably related rate structures.  
 These procedures shall provide for the joint consideration, 
 initiation, and establishment of rates and charges, and shall 
 assure that the respective revenues and expenses of warehouse 
 operators engaged in warehouse services for household goods are 
 ascertained.  Any participating warehouse operator party to a 
 collectively mandated rate or charge has the right to petition 
 the commissioner for the establishment of a rate or charge which 
 deviates from the collectively set rate.  Upon receiving the 
 commissioner's approval, that warehouse operator may proceed to 
 establish the requested rate or charge.  All warehouse operators 
 subject to rate regulation under this chapter must comply with 
 the commissioner's rate-making procedures.  No warehouse 
 operator shall undertake to perform any service or store any 
 household goods until a schedule of rates has been filed and 
 published in accordance with this chapter.  In case of 
 emergency, however, a service or storage not specifically 
 covered by the schedules filed, may be performed or furnished at 
 a reasonable rate, which must then be promptly filed, and which 
 is subject to review in accordance with this chapter.
