An insurers' trade group said today they plan to meet with New York Gov. George Pataki's office to persuade him not to sign a measure allowing consumers to freeze access to their credit information.
Kristina Baldwin, regional manager for the Property Casualty Insurers Association of America (PCI), based in Albany, said the legislation designed to protect against identity theft is not relevant for insurance.
Pataki spokeswoman Lynn Krogh said the Republican governor has until June 7 to decide on the fate of Senate Bill 6805. “He is still reviewing it and has not yet decided what he is going to do,” she said.
