Authorizes the Depart-ment to adopt emergency rules to implement the Act and to adopt rules concerning standards for full and fair disclosure of an insurers use of AI systems.The bill also authorizes the department to determine a great deal of the details related to the implementation of the bill through rulemaking.Furthermore, it authorizes the adoption of emergency rules which give the in-dustry no opportunity for public comment prior to compliance.
