Any rate increases made during the fiscal years ending June 30, 1993, June 30, 1994, and June 30, 1995, shall not exceed the most recent annual increase in the consumer price index for urban consumers.

The commissioner shall, upon the receipt of all documentation necessary to evaluate the request, determine whether there has been such a change in circumstances and shall conduct a hearing if appropriate.
