26-2-134. Limiting the use of credit scoring; rulemaking.
(a) The commissioner is authorized to adopt rules as necessary to govern the practices of all persons licensed under this code with respect to the use of credit scoring in the underwriting of personal lines, motor vehicles and homeowner policies. The rules shall provide:
(i) That a person's credit history or scoring shall not be the sole basis to cancel, deny or nonrenew an insurance policy. An insurer may use credit history only in combination with other valid underwriting factors independent of credit history or score;
(ii) That an insurer shall provide notice to the person when credit scoring is being used to underwrite a policy and when use of credit scoring is adverse to the person;
(iii) That the consumer is adequately protected against unfair discrimination in the use of credit scoring to underwrite policies.
