TX IC Posts 81st Legislative Session Bulletin

Houston, TX (CompNewsNetwork) - This Bulletin provides information and brief summaries of selected bills enacted during the 81st Regular Legislative Session which may be relevant specifically to individuals and entities regulated by the Life, Health & Licensing Program at the Department of Insurance.

Attachment A provides summaries of the bills that may require action by regulated individuals and entities.   

Attachment B provides a list of bills that may require action in particular circumstances. The bills contained in Attachment B have not been summarized because they have less impact on entities regulated by the Life, Health & Licensing Program than the bills contained in Attachment A. 

The Department is only providing information with regard to the particular provisions of the bills that may apply to life, accident, and health coverage or licensing issues.  Please refer to the actual bills for the complete content of the legislation.  If viewing via a Web enabled computer, each bill number will link directly to the enrolled bill text.  Alternatively, the bills, as well as other legislative information, may be accessed at the Texas Legislature Online website at http://www.capitol.state.tx.us.   

The Department has attempted to include only relevant and recently enacted legislation.  While the Department encourages use of the Bulletin to aid in compliance efforts, regulated individuals and entities are responsible for ensuring compliance with all enacted legislation affecting the business they conduct.  

To complement this Bulletin, the Department has posted its legislative implementation plans on its website at http://www.tdi.state.tx.us/reports/report10.html. 

The attached file include both Attachment A and Attachment B.
