Provides an update to certain insurance sections of law to update or eliminate outdated sections of the insurance law.

Became law

This already passed. Here's what you can still do.

1. Push for repeal or amendment

Legislative staff still count constituent contacts on enacted laws. A steady mail stream is what gets a bill onto the next session's repeal docket. Pick “Oppose” below and the message will frame the ask around repeal, amendment, or enforcement relief.

→ Write to your rep

3. Tell people the bill affects

Most people don't hear about a state-level bill until enforcement starts. A short note now (not a thread, just a link) gives the people most affected time to plan.
