Summary
The bill updates the Insurance Information and Privacy Protection Act, requiring insurers, surplus‑line insurers, reinsurers and their third‑party vendors to give clear privacy notices, obtain consumer consent, and limit data use to what is needed for the insurance transaction. It adds stronger civil penalties and makes it a misdemeanor to fraudulently obtain consumer data. The changes are meant to give Californians more control over their personal information in insurance dealings.
