Statute Text
Pretext interviews prohibited.
An insurer, insurance producer or insurance-support organization may not use or
authorize the use of pretext interviews to obtain personal information in
connection with an insurance transaction. However, a pretext interview may be
undertaken to obtain information from a person or institution that does not
have a generally recognized or statutorily recognized privileged relationship
with the person about whom the information relates, for the purpose of
investigating a claim where, based upon specific information available for
review by the Director of the Department of Consumer and Business Services,
there is a reasonable basis for suspecting criminal activity, fraud, material
misrepresentation or material nondisclosure in connection with the claim. [1981
