Relating to the regulation of a transportation protection agreement as a prepaid funeral benefit.

HB 1372 clarifies that transportation protection agreements - covering body transport over 75 miles from death to a licensed facility - are not considered prepaid funeral benefits. This means such agreements (e.g., for long-distance transport) will not be regulated under the same rules as prepaid funeral services like caskets or burial plots. The bill specifically excludes these agreements from sales contracts for prepaid funeral benefits, affecting consumers purchasing standalone transportation coverage and funeral service providers. The change takes effect September 1, 2025.
