Legislature OKs Limits on ‘Black Box’ Data
- Share via
Insurance companies would be barred from using data from vehicles’ “black boxes” to set drivers’ rates under legislation that won final approval in the Legislature.
The bill now goes to Republican Gov. John Hoeven, who is expected to sign it.

The legislation is aimed at computer chips that record a car’s speed, braking and steering efficiency.
