Yes, definitely. This story is about the decision of one such regulating body.

  I wasn't able to read the entire story because WSJ wants me to subscribe, but it starts saying they can use the information as long as it doesn't unfairly discriminate. I wonder what that means? The fact that it reduces the pool size at all seems like a negative.

    That’s referring to things like racial discrimination, which is definitely illegal. Insurance companies sometimes try to use proxies for race or other protected classes to get around such restrictions, and that has resulted in a situation where any technique for evaluating people needs to show that it’s not being used as such a proxy. The goal isn’t to keep pools large, but rather to keep pool assignment fair in some sense.
