Relating to negotiated rulemaking by the commissioner of insurance.

SB 2433 requires the Texas Insurance Commissioner to mandate a collaborative rulemaking process for adopting department regulations, replacing previous language that merely encouraged it. This policy change directly affects the Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) and insurance industry stakeholders who interact with insurance regulations. The bill mandates TDI to use negotiated rulemaking procedures under Texas Government Code Chapter 2008 for all new rules, aiming to build consensus with affected parties. TDI must implement this policy by January 1, 2026, with the law taking effect September 1, 2025. The bill does not alter insurance rules themselves but changes how they are developed.
