INSURANCE
H.B. 2015
By: Burnam
3-25-97
Committee Report (Unamended)

BACKGROUND

Several statutes bear the same Insurance Code citation; however, three of
those statutes with the same cite are particularly problematic. Each of
the three statutes is codified as Article 21.79E, Texas Insurance Code,
and each statute addresses a different subject. 

PURPOSE

This bill will renumber the Articles as 21.79E, 21.79F and 21.79G to
eliminate the confusion. 

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY

The bill does not expressly grant any additional rulemaking authority to a
state officer, department, agency or institution. 

SECTION BY SECTION ANALYSIS

SECTION 1. The second article denominated 21.79E (Illegal Pricing
Practices) is renamed 21.79F. 

SECTION 2. The third article denominated 21.79E (Action for Amount of
Deductible) is renamed 21.79G. 

SECTION 3. Act takes effect September 1, 1997.
