North Dakota Financial Information Disclosure, Referred Measure 2 (2002)

|
The North Dakota Financial Information Disclosure Referendum, also known as Referred Measure 2, was on the June 11, 2002 ballot in North Dakota as a veto referendum, where it was defeated.[1] The measure would have changed the definitions of a “customer” of a financial institution and “customer information” to be similar to that provided in federal law. It also would have permitted financial institutions to disclose nonpublic personal information to third parties unless the customer does not agree to the disclosure and so notifies the financial institution, a process that has been termed “opting out.” The law also would have required financial institutions to notify their agricultural and commercial customers about the financial institution’s privacy policies and to notify those customers annually of their ability to “opt out” of the disclosure of nonpublic information.[2]
