FAQ

What practices are prohibited under Colorado’s SB 21-169?

Insurers are prohibited from unfair discrimination in insurance practices and the use of external consumer data and Information Sources, algorithms, and predictive models that unfairly discriminate.

What are the requirements of Colorado’s insurtech law?

Broadly, insurers must:

• Provide information on the External Consumer Data and Information Sources, Algorithms, and Predictive Models they use and how

• Establish and maintain a risk management framework to determine whether the use of external consumer data and information sources, algorithms, and predictive models result in unfair discrimination

• Outline the actions taken to minimize the risk of unfair discrimination

The Commissioner of Insurance is tasked with developing specific rules for specific insurance practices and types of insurance for the fulfilment of these requirements.

How does the legislation define an algorithm and a predictive model?

Under the legislation, an algorithm is defined as a computational or machine-learning processes are used to inform human decision-making in insurance practices. A predictive model is defined as a process of using mathematical and computational methods that examine current and historical data sets for underlying pattern and calculate the probability of an outcome.

What does unfair discrimination mean?

Unfair discrimination occurs when external customer data and information sources or algorithms or predictive models correlate with protected characteristics (race, color, national or ethnic origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, disability, gender identity or gender expression) and result in a disproportionately negative outcome for these groups that exceeds the reasonable correlation to the underlying insurance practice (in respect to losses and underwriting costs etc.).

Are there any exemptions to SB21-169?

The SB21-169 legislation does not apply to title insurance, bonds executed by qualified surety companies, or insurers issuing commercial insurance policies. It does apply to insurers that issue business owners’ policies or commercial general liability policies if these policies have annual premiums of $10,000 or less.
