A proposed Senate Bill would prohibit insurance companies from requiring personal tax information on applications for coverage. Ian Roth has more from the state capitol.
The proposed bill's goal is to keep personal tax information personal. A Mid-Missouri business owner said he supports the bill because his company's insurance provider of 25 years demanded his personal tax information.
Opponents of the bill said that requiring tax information is simply a tool for protecting themselves against insurance fraud. The insurance companies that testified said that all information collected is kept private. If the bill passes, insurance companies would be prohibited from requiring personal tax information.
From the state capitol, I'm Ian Roth.
