House Bill No. 957, introduced by Representative Jordan, aims to protect the personal telematic data of drivers by prohibiting insurers and third parties from sharing or using this information without the express consent of the vehicle owner. The bill enacts a new section, R.S. 22:1298, which specifically states that insurers writing private passenger motor vehicle insurance or third parties cannot utilize a driver's personal telematic data as a rating factor unless they have obtained explicit permission from the vehicle owner.

The bill underwent amendments by the House Committee on Insurance, which clarified that the proposed law does not apply to manufacturers and distributors. Additionally, it reinforced the prohibition against the unauthorized use of telematic data and included technical changes for clarity. Overall, the legislation seeks to enhance consumer privacy regarding driver information in the insurance industry.
