IN RE:
HB739 by Quintanilla (Relating to certain continuing education requirements for insurance agents who sell Medicare-related products.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Insurance Code relating to insurance agents that sell Medicare-related products. The bill would require the insurance agents to fulfill additional continuing education requirements and would require the Texas Department of Insurance to adopt rules pertaining to the continuing education requirement. TDI anticipates any additional work resulting from the passage of the bill could be reasonably absorbed within current resources.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
