Insurance Data Security Law, no private cause of action
cite Miss. Code Ann. §§ 83-5-801 to 83-5-825, SB 2831 § 2
stage IN FORCE in force since 2019-07-01
reviewed 2026-08-28
The Insurance Data Security Law expressly may not be construed to create or imply a private cause of action for its violation, nor to curtail a private cause of action that would otherwise exist absent the law, the same two-part structure as Michigan's parallel statute. The law establishes the exclusive Mississippi standards for a licensee's data security and notification to the Commissioner of Insurance, who enforces it.
What it asks of an app
- Expect the Insurance Data Security Law to be enforced by the Mississippi Commissioner of Insurance; the law expressly forecloses a private cause of action for its own violation.
