(Ed. 08/12 -1) STATE LAWS Unfair Trade Practices: These laws address acts an agent should not engage in It would be unnecessary for an agency agreement to outline illegal or tortious practices Although each state’s laws are unique, virtually every state’s laws are based on the NAIC model act

Copyright © 2012, Big I Advantage®, Inc., and Swiss Re Corporate Solutions. All rights reserved. (Ed. 08/12 -1) STATE LAWS Unfair Trade Practices: Agency staff should be aware of their state’s claims practice laws which protect insureds and claimants during the claims process Each state’s laws are unique, but most address various issues of unfair handling of the claim including: – Timeframes for communications with claimants and insureds – Timeframes to deny or affirm coverage – Timeframes for making claim payments – Coverage and policy provision misrepresentation

Copyright © 2012, Big I Advantage®, Inc., and Swiss Re Corporate Solutions. All rights reserved. (Ed. 08/12 -1) FEDERAL LAWS Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) This act applies to any industry that accesses personal financial information or “consumer reports” The most common issues for agencies relating to FCRS are the furnishing of MVRs on drivers to their employers The act protects consumers against improper handling of this information and establishes procedures for protecting the information. Your state may also have its own laws which may be even more stringent than their federal counterpart.

Copyright © 2012, Big I Advantage®, Inc., and Swiss Re Corporate Solutions. All rights reserved. (Ed. 08/12 -1) FEDERAL LAWS Gramm-Leach- Bliley Act (Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999) GLBA puts great restrictions on “non-public, personal financial information” (NPFI). The agency must be very careful how and to whom it shares NPFI of its insureds. The law also imposes strict but vague requirements on the security and integrity of data. GLBA requires that each “financial institution” – which includes insurance agencies – to send an annual privacy notice to personal lines customers

Copyright © 2012, Big I Advantage®, Inc., and Swiss Re Corporate Solutions. All rights reserved. (Ed. 08/12 -1) FEDERAL LAWS Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) The FCC and the FTC have established a national “Do-Not- Call” list Prohibits telemarketers from calling parties unless they have an established business relationship It also generally prohibits most unsolicited facsimile (fax) advertisements.

Copyright © 2012, Big I Advantage®, Inc., and Swiss Re Corporate Solutions. All rights reserved. (Ed. 08/12 -1) FEDERAL LAWS CAN-SPAM without prior permission The FCC has enacted rules that prohibit sending unwanted commercial messages to wireless devices and computers without prior permission HIPPA The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) requires the security of health data and non-public information.
