HB 5192 Michigan House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Insurance: other; sharing of information concerning suspected or completed insurance fraud; allow. Amends sec. 4509 of 1956 PA 218 (MCL 500.4509).

This bill amends Michigan's insurance code to protect individuals and organizations from legal liability when they report suspected or confirmed insurance fraud. It allows people, insurers, and agencies to share information with fraud detection groups like the National Insurance Crime Bureau without fear of being sued for libel, slander, or other civil claims, provided they do not act with malice or knowingly spread false information. The law also shields these entities from lawsuits when they publish official reports or comply with court orders related to fraud investigations. Ultimately, the measure aims to encourage cooperation in fighting insurance fraud by removing the risk of civil lawsuits for those acting in good faith.
