State Legislation Scrutinizes Use of Credit Scores in Insurance Premiums
Several U.S. states, including Iowa, New York, Oklahoma, and Pennsylvania, are considering bills to ban the use of credit-based insurance scores in determining insurance premiums. This practice, which links credit history to insurance costs, disproportionately affects consumers with low credit scores, potentially increasing their premiums. The proposed legislation aims to address concerns over fairness and affordability in insurance pricing.
