HB 59, currently withdrawn as of January 27, 2025, would prohibit life insurance issuers from collecting additional premiums once a policyholder has paid total premiums equal to the policy's coverage amount. This applies to policies issued, amended, or renewed on or after July 1, 2025, directly affecting policyholders of qualifying life insurance. The key provision requires insurers to stop requesting further payments after the cumulative premiums paid reach the coverage value, effective July 1, 2025. The bill amends Tennessee Code Title 56 regarding life insurance regulations.
