Insurance, Health, Accident - As introduced, deletes an obsolete requirement that the department of commerce and insurance conduct a study to determine the appropriateness of a separate premium rating for medicare supplement policies for populations under 65 years of age upon the expiration of five years from May 27, 2010. - Amends TCA Title 8; Title 56 and Title 71.
HB 2577 removes an outdated requirement from Tennessee law that previously mandated the Department of Commerce and Insurance to conduct a study on Medicare supplement policy premiums for people under 65. This requirement expired in 2015 (five years after May 27, 2010), but remained in the statute book. The bill deletes the obsolete provision to clean up the state code, with no new policy changes or impacts on beneficiaries. It directly affects the department's administrative duties but has no practical effect on current insurance practices or consumers.
