Bill Caption
Relating to a specialty certification for insurance agents who have completed certain training regarding self-insured health benefit plans.
Fiscal Notes
From the LBB: no significant fiscal implication to the state is anticipated.
Bill Analysis
HB 1297 would amend the Insurance Code to require the Texas Department of Insurance to create a voluntary specialty certification program for life, accident, and health insurance agents. To receive specialty certification the agent must complete an additional training course.
Vote Recommendation Notes
HB 1297 creates a voluntary special certification program and does not appear to have a connection to our liberty principles, therefore we remain neutral.
