Model state law designed to govern use of information collected from insurance applications.

The law also provides that an insurer must give timely notice of renewal and other company policies.

All applicants are allowed access to information that the insurer has collected about them, the right to correct it if wrong, and to learn the reason they were turned down for insurance.
