Summary

What This Bill Does

It repeals sections 27-3-17 to 27-3-20, removing the requirements for applying for a certificate of authority and the rules for continuing, renewing, and potentially suspending or revoking that authority.

There is no replacement framework shown in the bill text.

• The Alabama Department of Insurance, including the commissioner, would be affected because the authority to issue, renew, suspend, or revoke insurer certificates would be removed from these sections.

Key Provisions
