Committee sends SB 1091 to floor; bill clarifies treatment of transportation protection agreements in funeral law
Summary
SB 1091 would exclude transportation protection agreements from statutes regulating funeral merchandise and prearrangements; the committee gave the bill a due‑pass recommendation by roll call.
During a work session the House Committee on Judiciary considered Senate Bill 1091, which would exclude transportation protection agreements from laws that govern funeral merchandise, funeral services and prearrangement sales and would define those agreements to include contracts for transporting human remains.
Committee staff told members the measure has a minimal fiscal impact and no revenue effect. Vice Chair Chotzin moved SB 1091 to the floor with a due‑pass recommendation; the clerk called the roll. The roll‑call votes recorded were: Representative Anderson — Aye; Representative Chi Chi — Aye; Representative Lewis — Aye; Representative Mannix — Excused; Representative Tran — Yes; Vice Chair Chotson — Aye; Vice Chair Wallen — Excused. The motion passed and the committee closed the work session.
The committee did not make substantive changes to the bill text during the work session, and no public-comment testimony was recorded for this item in the transcript.
