Life Settlement Bill Set for House Insurance Tuesday 4/4 HB 3008, which would interfere with the insurance industry's ability to contract with its agents, is set for hearing on Tuesday, April 4, in the House Insurance Committee. TALHI's opposition piece can be found here. Please contact the members of the House Insurance Committee and voice your opposition to this measure! Your TALHI Team here in Austin is walking the halls and meeting with members. Grassroots opposition is the perfect complement to our efforts.
TDI Rule Amendment Proposal The Texas Department of Insurance proposes amending 28 TAC §§21.3401 - 21.3409 concerning data collecting and reporting relating to mandated health benefits and mandated offers of coverage. Insurance Code Chapter 38, Subchapter F requires certain accident and health insurers and HMOs to submit data to TDI on mandated health benefits and mandated offers of coverage as designated by the commissioner. Insurance Code §38.252 directs the commissioner to adopt rules on the collection of information on mandated benefits and mandated offers of coverage. Sections 21.3401 - 21.3409 implement Insurance Code §38.252. Details on this proposal can be found here.
