SB 1905 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

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.

SB 1905 removes an obsolete requirement from Tennessee law that the Department of Commerce and Insurance study whether Medicare supplement policies should have separate premiums for people under 65. This bill deletes the specific provision (TCA §56-7-1503(g)(2)) that mandated this study, which was scheduled to expire after May 27, 2010, making it unnecessary. The change affects only the department's administrative duties, with no impact on insurance premiums or consumer coverage. The bill amends Tennessee Code Sections 56-7-1503(g) and related titles to reflect this deletion.
