Insurance Investigations Could be Hampered by a New Law |
DENVER, CO – A proposed new law in Colorado would make it harder for insurers and PIs in that state to investigate possible insurance fraud.

PIs Support Alabama Bill |
DECATUR, AL – At this time of year, many consumers consider hiring a PI for the first time, as Valentine's Day revives suspicions about unfaithful partners. Customers in Alabama may soon be hiring PIs in a new way, as the Alabama senate is contemplating new legislation (Senate Bill 24) which would make it tougher to get licensed as a PI. The new law would also regulate the state’s PI industry more. PIs, for example, would be subject to fingerprinting, ID cards, and background checks before becoming licensed. Criminals would not be allowed to become PIs. |
