The Senate Committee on Judiciary met Saturday morning following the floor session to discuss two House bills that were on the Committee agenda.
House Bill 2617 would require the Insurance Commissioner to provide for the use of electronic means of delivery and electronic signing of the form for making an offer of optional uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage by insurers. Any signature executed in conformity with the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act is enforceable. The Judiciary Committee adopted a strike and insert amendment for technical purposes.
House Bill 2647 would create the Self-Service Storage Limited License Act which would allow owners of self-service storage facilities to sell personal property insurance in connection with the lease or rental of leased space at their self-service storage facility.
Both bills were approved by the Committee, and will be reported to the full Senate to be voted upon.
