Bill > HB74

This bill amends Title 18 of the Delaware Code to clarify the legal protection of privileged information during insurance examinations. Specifically, the bill adds a provision that explicitly states that when an insurance company submits documents, materials, or information to the Insurance Commissioner (the state's top insurance regulator), the submission does not automatically waive any existing legal privileges or confidentiality claims. This means that even if sensitive or confidential information is shared with the Commissioner during an examination—whether the information is fully disclosed or partially redacted—the insurance company can still maintain its legal protections. The provision is designed to encourage transparency and cooperation between insurance companies and regulators without forcing companies to sacrifice their legal rights to confidentiality in the process.
