Current as of March 28, 2024 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

(a) There shall be no civil liability for libel, slander, or any other cause of action imposed on, and no cause of action shall arise from a person's furnishing information concerning suspected, anticipated, or completed fraudulent insurance acts, if the information is provided to or received from:

(1) The Insurance Commissioner or the commissioner's employees, agents, or representatives;

(2) Federal, state, or local law enforcement or regulatory officials or their employees, agents, or representatives;

(3) A person employed by or authorized by an insurer whose activities include the investigation or reporting of suspected fraudulent insurance acts when furnishing, disclosing, or requesting information on such suspected fraudulent insurance acts to or from a person employed by or authorized by other insurers or insurer organizations acting in the same capacity; or

(4) The National Association of Insurance Commissioners or its employees, agents, or representatives.

(b) Subsection (a) of this section shall not apply to statements made with actual malice. In an action brought against a person for filing a report or furnishing other information concerning a fraudulent insurance act, the party bringing the action shall plead specifically any allegation that subsection (a) of this section does not apply because the person filing the report or furnishing the information did so with actual malice.

(c) This section does not abrogate or modify common law or statutory privileges or immunities enjoyed by a person described in subsection (a) of this section.
