STATUS: Enacted

This law prevents insurers from asking about an applicant or an insured's status as a domestic violence survivor and disclosing that information to anyone.

Georgia law provides that insurers cannot request, directly or indirectly, any information the person knows or reasonably should know relates to acts of family violence or an applicant’s or insured’s status as a victim of family violence or make use of such information however obtained, except for the limited purpose of complying with legal obligations, verifying an individual’s claim to be a subject of family violence, cooperating with a victim of family violence in seeking protection from family violence, or facilitating the treatment of a family violence related medical condition. When a person has information in their possession that clearly indicates that the insured or applicant is a subject of family violence, the disclosure or transfer of the information by a person to any person, entity, or individual is a violation of the code.
