SB 865 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Insurance Companies, Agents, Brokers, Policies - As enacted, generally requires a group policy in this state that provides hospital, surgical, or major medical expense insurance on an expense incurred basis to an employee or member to extend such policy coverage for a period of time when the employee or member has been terminated if certain criteria are met. - Amends TCA Title 56.

SB 865 changes the deadline for Tennessee insurance companies to submit annual corporate governance disclosures to the commissioner of commerce and insurance. Specifically, it extends the filing deadline from June 1 to July 1 each year. This bill directly affects insurers, agents, and brokers required to comply with the Corporate Governance Annual Disclosure Act. The change modifies Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 56, Section 56-2-904(a), providing a one-month extension for compliance.
