“We agree with the [Commission], that legal guidelines would be very desirable,” says Young. “The problem is that most people believe that the legislature this year some very substantial modification of an amendment to the law of the State. There is a very large number of companies, which just last summer, a vast compliance effort.

“GLB and [in 1980, information and insurance Privacy Protection Act] is limited to personal insurance,” said Sorich. “In reference to commercial insurance and workers comp, the proposed provisions go beyond the scope of GLB authorized in 1980 and the law.
“A good part of the proposed rules here in California were established on the basis of the NAIC model,” Sorich said. Wherever he depart from the NAIC model, we have some concerns. ”
Sorich pointed out that if the proposed rules go further than California, several requests for both notice and opt-out language. “The [Commission], their hands tied, because really the statutes obligation opt-out,” says Sorich. “An insurer must give consumers the opportunity to opt-out before the part of insurers to certain types of information with related companies.” Other concerns that the NAIC model relates or to commercial insurance or a specified 12 points for the type of data Notes, while the provisions of California are every two that at the California rules governing use seek advice from the purposes for which information collected and published on the model is not a “request for that” provisions of California to prohibit disclosure of accounts and payment histories, considering that these prohibitions are not in style, the common reference for consumers in California regulation is different from the notice on the model and the rules of the CA 45 days the deadline for exercising the right to opt-outsomething which is still in style.
