Committee approves limited-agent license bill for eyewear insurance
Summary
HB 645 would create limited licenses to sell eyewear insurance and align definitions with Senate language; Assurant representatives waived support and the committee passed the strike-all amendment and the bill as amended.
Representative Smith explained HB 645 would allow limited agent licenses to sell eyewear insurance products, noting that 44 other states allow similar limited licenses. A strike-all amendment aligned definitions with the Senate, including an expanded definition of portable electronics tied to health-tracking devices.
Assurant representatives (Tim Meanen and Ashley Kalief) waived in support of the amended bill. There was no substantive debate recorded and the committee reported the bill favorably.
