Section 27-12A-22

Immunity from Liability.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (b), there shall be no civil liability imposed on and no cause of action shall arise against a person for furnishing or receiving information concerning suspected, anticipated, or completed insurance fraud. This shall not abrogate or modify common law or statutory privileges or immunities enjoyed by a person, and the limit on civil liability applies only to the act of reporting and does not limit civil liability against a person for committing fraud or other tortuous conduct.

(b) Subsection (a) shall not apply to false statements made with actual malice by a person furnishing or receiving information concerning suspected, anticipated, or completed insurance fraud. In any action brought against a person for filing a report or furnishing other information concerning insurance fraud, the party bringing the action shall plead specifically any allegations that subsection (a) shall not apply because the person filing the report or furnishing the information did so with actual malice.

(Act 2012-429, p. 1170, §2.)
