AN ACT to amend Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 4; Title 8; Title 56; Title 63; Title 68 and Title 71, relative to insurance.
Summary
HB2578 is a very short bill that makes a single statutory change: it deletes Tennessee Code Annotated Section 56-1-108. The bill is framed as an insurance measure and amends the Tennessee Code in Title 56, with a general caption indicating related references to other titles, but the operative text only repeals that one section and provides for immediate effect upon becoming law.
Because the bill text does not include the contents of Section 56-1-108, the precise policy change cannot be determined from the text alone. In practical terms, however, the bill would remove that section from Tennessee insurance law, which could alter or eliminate whatever requirement, restriction, or administrative provision that section currently contains.
Impact
The bill would directly affect Tennessee insurance statutes by repealing Tennessee Code Annotated Section 56-1-108. That means any legal duties, protections, procedures, or regulatory authority contained in that section would no longer be in force once the act takes effect. The bill does not add replacement language, so its impact is a straightforward deletion from the insurance code rather than a broader restructuring of state law.
Sentiment
There is no recorded committee discussion, vote history, or other legislative commentary provided with the bill, so the overall sentiment cannot be measured from the available materials. Based on the text alone, the measure appears technical and narrowly focused, with no visible evidence of controversy or support/opposition in the supplied record.
Contention
No specific points of contention are documented in the provided context. The only identifiable issue is the substantive effect of repealing Section 56-1-108 without replacement language, which could matter to insurers, regulators, or affected policyholders depending on what that section previously governed. Because the bill history and transcripts are absent, it is not possible to attribute any objections or endorsements to particular stakeholders.
