Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill updates Michigan's insurance code to use gender-neutral language, replacing terms like "husband" and "wife" with "spouse" and "individual." It also clarifies that life insurance policy proceeds payable to a spouse or descendants are exempt from creditor claims, with an exception for premiums paid to defraud creditors. Additionally, it adjusts the definition of dependents for insurance purposes, including when dependency terminates.
