House Bill 186 amends the Insurance Code to allow certain public officials, in the course of a criminal investigation, to request information from an insurance company relating to the company's investigation of a burglary or robbery loss claim or death claim. The bill requires the insurance company to release the information requested if the company believes the claim to be fraudulent, and it exempts the company from responsibility if the fraud claims are found to be false.
