The Tennessee House Insurance Subcommittee on March 5 voted to advance House Bill 1304 as amended to the full Insurance Committee.
House Bill 1304, introduced by Chairman Hill, was presented to the panel as an administration bill that updates the state insurance code. Committee members attached amendment 004264 before the floor discussion and then approved the amended bill by voice vote; the clerk later recorded a 5‑0 tally. The committee clerk announced the bill passes and will proceed to the full Insurance Committee.
Committee staff described the bill as repealing “mini‑COBRA” provisions and expanding insurance options for farm operations. The amendment was adopted during the meeting and incorporated into the version the committee approved.
No individual roll‑call votes were recorded in the transcript beyond the committee tally of 5 ayes and 0 nays. No further substantive details about the specific statutory changes, effective dates or budgetary impacts were provided in the discussion on the record.
The bill will next be considered by the full House Insurance Committee.
