SESSION OF 2024 CONFERENCE COMMITTEE REPORT BRIEF SENATE BILL NO. 27 As Agreed to April 30, 2024 Brief* SB 27 would reconcile amendments to statutes that were amended more than once during the current and prior legislative sessions. For such statutes, the bill would repeal one version and, if necessary, amend the continuing version with noncontradictory amendments, creating a single version of the statute containing all amendments. [Note: The Office of Revisor of Statutes submits a bill of this type each legislative session to reconcile and consolidate conflicting versions of the statutes.] Conference Committee Action The Conference Committee agreed to remove the contents of SB 27, provisions related to the authorization of the Commissioner of Insurance to set the amount of certain fees, and insert provisions to reconcile statutory conflicts. Background SB 27 was originally introduced by the Senate Committee on Financial Institutions and Insurance. On April 29, 2024, the Conference Committee removed the contents of SB 27, as amended by the House Committee on Insurance, and inserted provisions to reconcile statutory conflicts. [Note: The original provisions of SB 27, pertaining to the authorization of the Commissioner of Insurance to set the amount of certain fees, were incorporated through the enactment of the bill's mirror provisions in 2023 HB 2090.] Fiscal Information An updated fiscal note was not available when Conference Committee action was taken.
