Summary

The bill lets licensed funeral directors or their staff ask life‑insurance companies for information about a deceased person’s policies, beneficiaries, and any outstanding loans, and requires a response within two business days. If an insurer fails to answer, the request can be turned into a consumer complaint with the Attorney General’s Office. It also requires funeral providers to locate beneficiaries and inform them that they have no legal duty to pay funeral costs.
