§  2806.  Filing. (a) Insurers that use insurance scores to underwrite
and rate  risks  must  file  their  scoring  models  (or  other  scoring
processes)  with  the  superintendent.  Any  subsequent  revision to the
scoring models will require  the  insurer  to  file  a  summary  of  the
revision  with  the superintendent within forty-five days. A third party
may file scoring models on behalf of insurers. A  filing  that  includes
insurance  scoring  may  include  loss  experience justifying the use of
credit information.

(b) Any filing relating to credit information filed and in the possession of the superintendent shall remain the property of the insurer and shall not be subject to any disclosure or production under article six or six-A of the public officers law or any other law of the state which authorizes or requires the superintendent to disclose or produce records to an outside party. This information is privileged information and is not discoverable or admissible as evidence in any legal action in any civil, criminal or administrative proceeding. The privilege created herein is a matter of substantive law of this state and is not merely a procedural matter governing civil or criminal procedures in the courts of this state and this information shall remain subject to all applicable statutory or common law privileges.
