Chapter 175 of the General Laws is hereby amended by adding the following new section:�

Section 2C.  Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, no insurance company shall disclose any nonpublic personal information contrary to the provisions of Title V of the federal Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999 (public law 106-102), known as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.  The commissioner of insurance may adopt rules and regulations to carry out this section in accordance with the requirements of chapter thirty A of the General Laws.  Such rules and regulations shall be consistent with and not more restrictive than standards contained in regulations promulgated under Title V of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act by federal regulatory agencies governing financial institutions doing business in the commonwealth.  Nothing in this section shall be construed to create a private cause of action.
