Relating to disclosure of a beneficiary to a funeral director under a life insurance policy.
SB 2250 requires life insurers to disclose a designated beneficiary to a funeral director under specific conditions. It applies only to life insurance policies with death benefits under $15,000 issued by certain insurers (like mutual companies or burial associations) and to funeral directors handling a decedent's funeral when heirs lack beneficiary information. Funeral directors must obtain written consent from an heir or personal representative, including specific details about the decedent's insurance connection, before requesting disclosure. Insurers must then provide the beneficiary information in writing to the funeral director. This process aims to streamline access to life insurance benefits for families during funeral arrangements.
