House Bill 2172 |
House Author: Torres |
|
Effective: 9-1-11 |
Senate Sponsor: Van de Putte |
Current law authorizes the extension of insurance under a group life insurance policy to cover a natural or adopted child or grandchild of each individual eligible to be insured under the policy if certain requirements are met. House Bill 2172 amends the Insurance Code to remove the requirements that such a child or grandchild be unmarried and that a grandchild be a dependent of the insured for federal income tax purposes at the time the application for coverage of the child is made. The bill authorizes such a policy to be extended to cover a child or grandchild who is older than 25 years of age if an older age is stated in the policy.
