A 5017 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Exempts certain personal information and entities from certain requirements concerning notification and disclosure of personal data.*

This bill (A5017) exempts insurance-support organizations from New Jersey's data privacy notification and disclosure requirements when handling personal data related to fraud detection in insurance underwriting or claims. Specifically, it adds a new exemption (section i) to existing law for organizations defined under P.L.1985, c.179 (C.17:23A-2) that collect or disclose personal data to prevent fraud, misrepresentation, or nondisclosure in insurance contexts. The exemption applies only to data used for these specific insurance fraud prevention purposes. This change aligns insurance-support organizations with existing exemptions for insurance institutions under current law.
