INSURANCE DEPARTMENT: Provides for the disposition of proceeds from certain taxes and fees collected by the Department of Insurance
HB 329 is a technical amendment to clarify language within existing insurance department funding provisions. It changes a reference from "Subparagraph" to "Paragraph" in a specific section of the law governing how insurance tax and fee proceeds are handled. The bill does not alter funding mechanisms or create new policy; it only corrects a procedural reference in the legislative text. This is a routine administrative adjustment with no direct impact on policy or affected parties.

MODERATE
HB 329 was converted from an original draft into an enrolled act, finalizing its text and adding signatures from the Governor and legislative leaders. The substantive policy content remains consistent, directing the first $5 million of surplus lines tax proceeds to the Louisiana Fortify Homes Program Fund and establishing specific fee allocations for various insurance license types.
Scope change
The bill's scope regarding insurance tax revenue distribution and fee allocations remains unchanged; only the procedural status of the document was updated.
TECHNICAL
The document header was updated to reflect the bill's final status as 'ENROLLED' and 'ACT No. 79', replacing the 'ORIGINAL' draft status.
Signatures from the Speaker of the House, President of the Senate, and the Governor were added to certify the bill's approval.
Page numbering was adjusted from 'Page 1 of 4' to 'Page 1 of 3' to reflect the final consolidated text.
The Legislative Services digest, which provided a summary of the proposed law, was removed as it is not part of the enacted statute.
