United States Eighth Circuit

The Minnesota Insurance Fair Information Reporting Act's requirement that insurance companies notify consumers before collecting their personal information does not conflict with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and the statute's notice provisions are not preempted by the FCRA; dismissal was improper as plaintiffs did state a claim under Minnesota law for the insurers' failure to obtain written authorization before collecting the personal information.
