HB 1094 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the regulation of transportation protection agreements.

HB 1094 defines "transportation protection agreements" as contracts covering body transportation over 75 miles to a licensed facility and exempts these agreements from Texas insurance regulations. This bill directly affects funeral service providers selling such agreements and consumers purchasing them, as it removes insurance licensing and oversight requirements. The key provision clarifies that these agreements do not constitute "insurance" under state law, allowing sellers to offer transportation services without meeting standard insurance compliance rules. The law takes effect September 1, 2025.
