SB 219 Alabama Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Insurance, to provide that service contract provider registration fees be paid into the Special Examination Revolving Fund instead of the Service Contract Revolving Fund

SB 219 changes where service contract provider registration fees are deposited. Currently, these fees ($200 annually) go into the Service Contract Revolving Fund, but the bill redirects them to the Special Examination Revolving Fund instead. The bill also requires any unspent balance in the old fund to transfer to the new fund and clarifies that fee adjustments will follow the Consumer Price Index as currently required. This affects service contract providers - businesses that sell contracts covering repair, maintenance, or replacement of purchased goods - by altering fund management without changing fees or registration requirements.
