Senate, Special Order Calendar

Summary

SR108 designates a special order calendar that places five bills on the Senate’s top priority for the 19th Legislative Day.

What This Bill Does

It does not enact changes by itself; it designates SB269, SB94, SB409, SB114, and SB277 as the special, priority items to be considered before other business for the 19th day. The designation is only for that day. The included bills would address insurance adjuster licensing, funeral service regulation and fees, state recovery audits of overpayments, public benefits fraud rules, and recreational vehicle franchise relationships.

Who It Affects

• Regulated industries and their customers, including insurance adjusters, funeral service providers and their clients, recreational vehicle dealers and buyers, who would experience licensing requirements, board oversight, and franchise-related rules.
• State government, taxpayers, public program administrators, and beneficiaries, who would be affected by recovery audits of overpayments and enforcement of public benefit fraud rules.

Key Provisions

• SB269 adds licensing and regulation of insurance adjusters by the Insurance Department and includes amendments and repeals to related sections.
• SB94 substantially revises the Funeral Service Board and the operation of funeral establishments and mortuary services; increases various fees (application, renewal, inspection) and fines for violations; broad amendments to related statutes.
• SB409 authorizes recovery audits of overpayments of state funds and empowers the Chief Examiner/Examiners of the Public Accounts Department to contract for such audits.
• SB114 modifies public benefits fraud provisions, removing the requirement that the person committing fraud knew the services were available only for compensation, and clarifies related offenses.
• SB277 updates rules for Recreational Vehicle franchise agreements, including designated areas of sales responsibility, procedures for termination, non-renewal, or alteration of agreements, inventory repurchase, and warranty service considerations; clarifies that the Motor Vehicle Franchise Act may not apply to certain RV manufacturer/dealer agreements.
