Life insurance; authorize funeral services provider to obtain certain information within two business days.
(H) Died In Committee
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.
