On June 5-6, 2023, the NAIC Privacy Protections (H) Working Group (“PPWG”) held an in-person interim meeting (“session”) to continue its work on drafting a new model privacy law, the Insurance Consumer Privacy Protection Model Law #674 (“Model Law”). Model Law #674 is intended to replace the current Models #670 and #672. The session was intended to be a drafting session focused on certain provisions of the current exposure draft not yet covered during the three preceding PPWG open drafting calls.

During the session, the working group covered third-party service providers, definitions of “insurance transactions” and “additional permitted transactions,” marketing (and joint-marketing agreements), consent to marketing (opt-in versus opt-out), and consumer privacy notices. The PPWG announced it intends to release a new exposure draft (version 1.0) of the Model Law by the end of June to address many of the comments the working group has received and discussed to date. There will be no 60-day comment period for this draft and instead, open calls to discuss drafting will restart once the new exposure draft is released.
