Published in the June 17, 2026 New York State Register, DFS proposed amendments to 11 NYCRR 244 covering confidentiality protocols for victims of domestic violence and endangered individuals. The rule would conform insurer handling of claim-related information to statutory changes in Insurance Law Section 2612.
