This legislation would apply to the MO HealthNet (MHD) Fee-for-Service state plan. MHD identified 1,365 potential eligible participants that could enroll in this program. MHD projected that within the first year (FY25), this population would ramp up over the first 10 months. An average monthly cost of $1,238 for BCCT participants was determined. A 6.3% medical inflation rate was used for FY26 and FY27. FY25: Total – $7,625,957 (GR - $2,645,444; Federal - $4,980,512) FY26: Total – $21,555,633 (GR - $7,477,649; Federal - $14,077,984) FY27: Total – $22,913,638 (GR - $7,948,741; Federal - $14,964,897) Oversight does not have information to the contrary and therefore, Oversight will reflect the estimates as provided by the DSS, MHD. In response to a similar proposal from this year (HB 2875), officials from the Newton County Health Department assumed the proposal will have no fiscal impact on their organization. Oversight does not have any information to the contrary. Therefore, Oversight will reflect a zero impact in the fiscal note for these agencies. §§303.425 - 303.440 - Motor Vehicle Financial Responsibility Officials from the Department of Revenue assume no fiscal impact from the proposal. DOR states the bill extends the implementation date of the provisions, and has some clean-up measures to ensure optimal implementation. Officials from the Department of Commerce and Insurance (DCI) believe the costs of this bill can be absorbed within current appropriations. However, should the cost be more than anticipated, the department would request an increase in FTE and/or appropriations as appropriate through the budget process. Oversight does not have any information to the contrary. Therefore, Oversight will reflect a zero impact in the fiscal note. L.R. No. 5286H.07T Bill No. Truly Agreed To and Finally Passed HCS for SS for SB 1359 Page 4 of June 7, 2024 KC:LR:OD Repeal of Sections 361.700- 361.727 and enactment of Sections 361.900– 361.1035 – Money Transmitter Officials from the Department of Commerce and Insurance (DCI) – Division of Finance (DOF) assume the following: DOF assumes these sections these sections authorize the commissioner of the Division of Finance (DOF) to administer, interpret, and enforce Sections 361.900-361.1035. It provides rulemaking authority for the DOF and addresses confidentiality of information submitted by licensees and applicants. It further permits the commissioner to enforce sections and regulations pertaining to money transmitters, and outlines required submissions by applicants for a money transmitter license. All revenue and expenses would be deposited and deducted from the Division of Finance Fund (0550). Revenue Estimate Money transmitter companies are currently licensed under Sections 361.700-361.727. If passed these sections would be repealed and replaced by Sections 361.900-361.1035. For the purposes of this estimate, DOF assumes all of the 171 entities currently licensed under 361.700-361.727 would convert their license to that which is authorized by Sections 361.900-361.1035. Section 361.921 This section allows DOF to charge each money transmitter licensed under these sections for costs associated with their annual examinations. DOF assumes the commissioner will set licensure and renewal fees at a level to sustain the program without charging for licensee examinations. Section 361.936 An Initial Application Fee and a License Fee set by the commissioner is required with the submission of an application for license. The fee would be set based on the cost to sustain operation of the licensure program. Licenses would be effective on the date of issuance by DOF and would expire on December 31 of each year. Annual renewal fees would be set by the commissioner based on the total operating expenses of the program. Section 361.951 A fee set by the commissioner is required to accompany a request to acquire control of a licensee along with an application for acquisition. DOF estimates that 10%, or 9 such transactions would take place each year. The fee would be set at an amount sufficient to sustain operation of the program based on estimated operating costs. Section 361.1026 This section authorizes the director to assess civil penalties for violations of 361.900-361.1035. L.R. No. 5286H.07T Bill No. Truly Agreed To and Finally Passed HCS for SS for SB 1359 Page 5 of June 7, 2024 KC:LR:OD Revenue Loss Since all of those currently licensed under Sections 361.700-361.727 are assumed to transition to these new licenses, DOF expects a loss of revenue from renewals under 361.700-361.727. The fee for renewals is $400 annually, resulting in a revenue loss of an estimated $68,400. Expense Estimate Expense estimates include a 2% annual inflation rate. Section 361.921.1(1) DOF assumes this section authorizes examinations of licensees which would be conducted by a Senior Consumer Credit Examiner. Regular examinations would take place biennially, with half of the licensees examined each year. This would require an estimated 86 examinations be performed each year. It is estimated that a Senior Consumer Credit Examiner would spend an average of forty hours to complete an examination. Completed examinations would be submitted to the central office of the Division for compilation and formatting by an Administrative Office Support Assistant (AOSA). Examinations would be reviewed and approved by the Supervisor of Consumer Credit, estimated to take three hours for each examination. Based on the average salaries of $53.15 for a Senior Consumer Credit Examiner; $19.91 per hour for an AOSA; and $64.46 for the Supervisor of Consumer Credit. The personal service cost for each examination is estimated at $2,339. Travel expenses are estimated at $500 - $2,500 per examination depending on the location of the licensee. For this estimate, the median of $1,500 per exam was used. Applications submitted pursuant to Section 361.936 would be reviewed by a Senior Consumer Credit Examiner, requiring an estimated 8 hours each; the Supervisor of Consumer Credit would spend an average of 1 hour reviewing recommendations of the Senior Consumer Credit Examiner regarding licensure approval or denial. It would take an average of 1 hour for the AOSA to process the approval or denial of each application. Renewal of licenses for money transmitters would be completed on an annual basis, beginning January 1 after of the date of original issuance. Because the number of money transmitters has been fairly stable, it is estimated that ten would opt not to renew their licenses in FYs 2026 and 2027, but would be replaced by new licensees. Renewal requests would be reviewed by a Senior Consumer Credit Examiner, taking an average of 6 hours each. Review of the recommendation for approval or denial would be handled by the Supervisor of Consumer Credit taking approximately one hour. The AOSA would then process the renewal license or denial at one hour per license. Those entities seeking to acquire control of a money transmitter license are required to submit an application for acquisition. DOF assumes approximately 10% of licenses would have an acquisition application filed each year. For these 9 applications, an average of eight hours would be required for review by a Senior Consumer Credit Examiner, one hour of review of the recommendation of approval or denial by the Supervisor of Consumer Credit, and one hour to L.R. No. 5286H.07T Bill No. Truly Agreed To and Finally Passed HCS for SS for SB 1359 Page 6 of June 7, 2024 KC:LR:OD process the approval or denial of the acquisition. Sections 361.957 – 361.963 DOF assumes these sections require money transmitters to submit several reports to the Division including financial statements, reports of condition, and special events that affect the licensee. DOF estimates it would take a Senior Consumer Credit Examiner six hours to review each report and the Supervisor of Consumer Credit an average of one hour each to address any concerns identified by the Examiner. Fringe Benefits are estimated at the standard rate. Supplies and expenses for employees assigned to this program are estimated at $11,261 per FTE annually. Because the majority of Consumer Credit examination staff are telecommuters, rent and janitorial expenses would only be necessary for the AOSA and Supervisor positions. DOF administrative support services, including general administration, training, human resources, accounting, budget, legal, and information technology services are covered in a 15% administrative overhead rate. This includes promulgation of rules and development of forms and websites to support these sections. Cost Savings Since those currently licensed under Sections 361.700-361.727 would transition to these new licenses, DOF expects that 171 renewals will not be processed, saving an estimated $68,400. DOF assumes that this workload would be picked up by existing staff since repealed Sections 361.700-361.727 would eliminate some existing workload. Because the commissioner determines the fees associated with licensures and renewals under 361.900-361.1035, DOF assumes the fees would be set at a level sufficient to sustain the operations of the program. Therefore, the net effect on the Division of Finance Fund (0550) would be $0. Listed below is a summary revenue and expenses expected by DCI-DOF as a result of this proposal. FY 2025FY 2026FY 2027Revenue – Money Transmitter Fees$680,533 $694,144$708,028Cost Avoidance$68,400$68,400$68,400FTE Expense($680,533)($694,144)($708,028)Licensing Fees Loss($68,400)($68,400)($68,400)Total$0$0$0 L.R. No. 5286H.07T Bill No. Truly Agreed To and Finally Passed HCS for SS for SB 1359 Page 7 of June 7, 2024 KC:LR:OD Oversight notes the cost related to the FTE expense provided by DOF is for existing staff and not additional FTE. Oversight assumes DOF will have some additional expense related to the proposal, however, Oversight also assumes DOF will set the associated fees of the newly created license sufficient enough to sustain the program without any additional cost or loss to the department. Oversight will reflect an unknown revenue and an unknown cost to the Division of Finance Fund (0550), roughly netting to zero. DOF assumes all of the 171 entities currently licensed under 361.700-361.727 would convert their license to that which is authorized. Therefore, Oversight will reflect the fiscal estimate to the Division of Finance Fund (0550) as a net revenue of Unknown. Officials from the Department of Corrections (DOC) state the proposal modifies provisions relating to financial transactions. DOC assumes section 361.981 includes one class E felony penalty and one class A misdemeanor penalty applicable to instances in which an authorized delegate fails to remit money in accordance with the written contract required by subsection 2 of section 361.1275 or as otherwise directed by the licensee or required by law. DOC assumes section 361.1023 associates two class E felony penalties and one class A misdemeanor penalty with violations of requirements under sections 361.900 to 361.1035. Misdemeanor penalties are not generally within the purview of the department. The bill creates three new class E felonies. For each new nonviolent class E felony, the department estimates one person could be sentenced to prison and two to probation. The average sentence for a nonviolent class E felony offense is 3.4 years, of which 2.1 years will be served in prison with 1.4 years to first release. The remaining 1.3 years will be on parole. Probation sentences will be 3 years. The cumulative impact on the department is estimated to be 6 additional offenders in prison and 21 additional offenders on field supervision by FY 2027. L.R. No. 5286H.07T Bill No. Truly Agreed To and Finally Passed HCS for SS for SB 1359 Page 8 of June 7, 2024 KC:LR:OD * If this impact statement has changed from statements submitted in previous years, it could be due to an increase/decrease in the number of offenders, a change in the cost per day for institutional offenders, and/or an increase in staff salaries. If the projected impact of legislation is less than 1,500 offenders added to or subtracted from the department’s institutional caseload, the marginal cost of incarceration will be utilized. This cost of incarceration is $26.545 per day or an annual cost of $9,689 per offender and includes such costs as medical, food, and operational E&E. However, if the projected impact of legislation is 1,500 or more offenders added or removed to the department’s institutional caseload, the full cost of incarceration will be used, which includes fixed costs. This cost is $99.90 per day or an annual cost of $36,464 per offender and includes personal services, all institutional E&E, medical and mental health, fringe, and miscellaneous expenses. None of these costs include construction to increase institutional capacity. DOC’s cost of probation or parole is determined by the number of P&P Officer II positions that are needed to cover its caseload. The DOC average district caseload across the state is 51 offender cases per officer. An increase/decrease of 51 cases would result in a cost/cost avoidance equal to the salary, fringe, and equipment and expenses of one P&P Officer II. Increases/decreases smaller than 51 offender cases are assumed to be absorbable. In instances where the proposed legislation would only affect a specific caseload, such as sex offenders, the DOC will use the average caseload figure for that specific type of offender to calculate cost increases/decreases. A summary of DOC cost is provided in the table below: C hange in prison admissions and probation openings with legislation F Y2025 F Y2026 F Y2027 F Y2028 F Y2029 F Y2030 F Y2031 F Y2032 F Y2033 F Y2034 N ew Admissions C urrent Law 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 A fter Legislation 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 P robation C urrent Law 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 A fter Legislation 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 C hange (After Legislation - Current Law) A dmissions 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 P robations 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 C umulative Populations P rison 3 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 P arole 0 0 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 P robation 6 1 2 1 8 1 8 1 8 1 8 1 8 1 8 1 8 1 8 I mpact P rison Population 3 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 F ield Population 6 1 2 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 P opulation Change 9 1 8 2 7 2 7 2 7 2 7 2 7 2 7 2 7 2 7 L.R.

Therefore, Oversight will reflect estimate provided by DOC to the General Revenue Fund for FY 2025, FY 2026 and FY 2027. Officials from the Office of the State Courts Administrator (OSCA) assume there may be some impact but there is no way to quantify that currently. Any significant changes will be reflected in future budget requests. Oversight does not have any information to the contrary. Therefore, Oversight will reflect a zero impact in the fiscal note. In response to a similar proposal from this year (HCS/HB 2087), officials from the Office of Budget & Planning stated this proposal creates new class E felonies and class A misdemeanors. To the extent that any related fines are deposited into the state treasury, this proposal could increase total state revenue by an unknown amount. The Division of Finance has previously assumed that all of the entities currently licensed would convert their license to that which is authorized under the new sections. Because the commissioner determines the fees associated with licensures and renewals under this legislation, DOF has previously assumed the fees would be set at a level sufficient to sustain the operations of the program and furthermore assumed the net effect on the fund balance would be $0. B&P notes that TSR may be impacted if fees and revenues are set at a level where the net impact on the fund is not $0. Officials from the Missouri Sheriffs' Retirement System stated that this legislation may have a negative impact if this legislation passes. The Retirement System hires investment managers to invest its assets based on the investment policy. Setting constraints on investment guidelines has L.R. No. 5286H.07T Bill No. Truly Agreed To and Finally Passed HCS for SS for SB 1359 Page 10 of 24 June 7, 2024 KC:LR:OD a potential of limiting investment earnings used to finance the retirement system. At the time the negative impact is unknown. Oversight assumes because the potential of limiting investment earnings is speculative that the Missouri Sheriffs' Retirement System will not incur significant cost related to this proposal. Therefore, Oversight will reflect a zero impact in the fiscal note. Sections 362.1010 – 362.1117 - Missouri Family Trust Company Act Officials from the Department of Commerce and Insurance (DCI) assume this bill transfers oversight of Family Trusts and Foreign Family Trusts from the Missouri Secretary of State’s Office to the DCI's Division of Finance (DOF). Sections 362.1010-362.1117 assign oversight of Family Trust and Foreign Family Trusts to the Director or Designee of DOF. This would include registration of new trusts and annual renewal of existing trusts. According to the Secretary of State, there are currently three active Trusts in Missouri. Since those trusts will not be required to submit an initial application, DOF assumes that only an annual registration report accompanied by a $1,000 filing fee would be collected from each of these trusts, resulting in an income of $3,000 annually. This funding would be used to provide oversight of Family and Foreign Family Trusts in Missouri. DOF does not anticipate any new trusts filings. The net fiscal impact for this section would be $0. The Director of DOF or Designee may perform examinations and investigate allegations of violations of these sections and may charge the trust company for salary and expenses of the examiner or investigator. Since the amount charged would be limited to actual expenses, this section’s fiscal impact would net to $0. The Director may impose penalties and late fees and suspend registrations of a trust for failure to submit a timely registration report. Reinstatement of a trust would occur by submission of the annual registration report, a late fee, and any penalty imposed by the Director. DOF does not anticipate any reports will be submitted late, resulting in fiscal impact for this section as $0. The Director shall issue a fee schedule based on the time and resources required to issue certified copies of documents as prescribed in Section 362.110. The section’s fiscal impact would net to $0. All fees and penalties would be deposited to the Family Trust Company Fund (0810) and expenses relating to oversight of these companies would be paid from this fund via a transfer to the Division of Finance Fund (0550). Therefore, DOF assumes the net impact of this proposal is $0. Oversight does not have any information to the contrary. Therefore, Oversight will reflect a zero impact in the fiscal note. L.R. No. 5286H.07T Bill No. Truly Agreed To and Finally Passed HCS for SS for SB 1359 Page 11 of 24 June 7, 2024 KC:LR:OD Oversight assumes the Office of the Secretary of State could have a potential minor savings from the transfers of oversight of the Family Trusts and Foreign Family Trusts from the Missouri Secretary of State’s Office to the DCI's Division of Finance (DOF). Oversight assumes the fiscal impact would ultimately net to $0 or be immaterial and therefore will not reflect a fiscal impact on the fiscal note. Section 374.192 Officials from the Department of Commerce and Insurance (DCI) assume the costs of provision can be absorbed within their current appropriations. However, should the cost be more than anticipated, the department would request an increase in FTE and/or appropriations as appropriate through the budget process. Oversight does not have any information to the contrary. Therefore, Oversight will reflect a zero impact in the fiscal note for this provision. Section 427.300 – Financial Disclosure Law Officials from the Department of Commerce and Insurance (DCI) state there are very few companies that provide the types of commercial financing products described in this section, though the Division of Finance (DOF) does not have an exact number. When California passed something similar, they had two companies; DOF assumes Missouri will have less than five. The initial registration would be set at $100 each, so up to $500 total revenue in the first year. If all of the companies renewed annually, at $50 each, subsequent years' revenue would be $250. The registration process is not work-intensive and would cost about $36.53 to process (½ hour for an AOSA @$19.91/hour + ½ hour for an Examiner @ $53.15/hour = $36.53). For five registrations, each year would cost $182.61. Since there is no review of enforcement authority granted in the language, that is the extent of the fiscal impact. FY 2024 FY 2025 FY 2026 Revenue $0-$500 $0-$250 $0-250 Expense ($183-$0) ($186-$0) ($190-$0) Net Effect $0-$317 $0-$64 $0-$60 Oversight assumes these amounts are not material and will not reflect them in the fiscal note. Oversight notes §427.300.6 requires that any person who violates this section shall be punished by a fine of $500 per incident, not to exceed $20,000 for all aggregated violations. Any person who violates this section after receiving written notice of prior violation from the AGO shall be punished by a fine of $1,000 per incident, not to exceed $50,000 for all aggregated violations. Oversight will assume any potential fine revenue generated from this subsection will be distributed to local school districts instead of being credited to the state’s Merchandising Practices Revolving Fund. For simplicity, Oversight will reflect a $0 or Unknown amount of fine revenue received by school districts. Oversight notes these amount may act as a deduction L.R. No. 5286H.07T Bill No. Truly Agreed To and Finally Passed HCS for SS for SB 1359 Page 12 of 24 June 7, 2024 KC:LR:OD in the following year school funding formula; however, Oversight will simply reflect a possible positive impact to schools from the fine revenue. Bill as a whole: Officials from the Attorney General’s Office, the Department of Economic Development, the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, the Department of Higher Education and Workforce Development, the Department of Health and Senior Services, the Department of Mental Health, the Department of Natural Resources, the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations, the Department of Public Safety (Fire Safety, Directors OfficeMissouri Highway Patrol, Missouri Veterans Commission, Alcohol and Tobacco Control, State Emergency Management Agency), the Office of the Governor, the Missouri Department of AgricultureMissouri Department of Transportation, the Missouri National Guard, the MoDOT & Patrol Employees’ Retirement System, the Office of the State Auditor, the Missouri Department of Conservation, the Missouri House of Representatives, the Joint Committee on EducationJoint Committee on Public Employee Retirement, the Legislative Research, the Oversight Division, the Missouri Senate, the Office of the State Treasurer, the Missouri Lottery Commission, the Missouri Consolidated Health Care Plan, the Office of Administration, the Prosecution Services, the Missouri State Employee's Retirement System, the State Tax Commission, the County Employees Retirement Fund, the Kansas City Civilian Police Employees Retirement and the Kansas City Police Retirement System, the Kansas City Public School Retirement System and the Public Schools and Education Employee Retirement Systems each assume the proposal will have no fiscal impact on their respective organizations. Oversight does not have any information to the contrary. Therefore, Oversight will reflect a zero impact in the fiscal note for these agencies. In response to a previous version, officials from the Office of Administration - Administrative Hearing Commission, the Department of Public Safety – Capital PoliceMissouri Ethics Commission and Office of the State Public Defender the each assume the proposal will have no fiscal impact on their respective organizations. Oversight does not have any information to the contrary. Therefore, Oversight will reflect a zero impact in the fiscal note for these agencies. Rule Promulgation Officials from the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules assume this proposal is not anticipated to cause a fiscal impact beyond its current appropriation. Officials from the Office of the Secretary of State (SOS) note many bills considered by the General Assembly include provisions allowing or requiring agencies to submit rules and regulations to implement the act. The SOS is provided with core funding to handle a certain amount of normal activity resulting from each year's legislative session. The fiscal impact for this fiscal note to the SOS for Administrative Rules is less than $5,000. The SOS recognizes that this is a small amount and does not expect that additional funding would be required to meet these costs. However, the SOS also recognizes that many such bills may be passed by the L.R. No. 5286H.07T Bill No. Truly Agreed To and Finally Passed HCS for SS for SB 1359 Page 13 of 24 June 7, 2024 KC:LR:OD General Assembly in a given year and that collectively the costs may be in excess of what the office can sustain with its core budget. Therefore, the SOS reserves the right to request funding for the cost of supporting administrative rules requirements should the need arise based on a review of the finally approved bills signed by the governor. Oversight only reflects the responses received from state agencies and political subdivisions; however, other schools and retirement systems were requested to respond to this proposed legislation but did not. A listing of political subdivisions included in the Missouri Legislative Information System (MOLIS) database is available upon request. FISCAL IMPACT – State GovernmentFY 2025 (10 Mo.)

Reinsurance contracts held by the insurers placed in conservation or rehabilitation proceedings or liquidation shall be continued or terminated as provided in the contract and as specified in the act. Reinsurance contracts terminated pursuant to an order of liquidation shall be subject to mandatory negotiation and arbitration procedures specified in the act. (Section 375.1183.1-2). A guaranty association may elect to assume the liquidated insurer's rights and obligations under reinsurance contracts within 180 days of the order of liquidation as specified in the act. To facilitate this decision, the receiver and each affected reinsurer shall make available copies of reinsurance contracts and related files and records, as well as notices of any defaults under the contracts or any known event or condition which could become a default. (Section 375.1183.3(1)-(2)). The act further specifies rights and duties of the guaranty association and reinsurers under the reinsurance contracts assumed by the guaranty association, including with regard to premium payments, payment of claims, resolution of disputes over amounts due, and termination or continuation of the contracts.

No. 5286H.07T Bill No. Truly Agreed To and Finally Passed HCS for SS for SB 1359 Page 20 of 24 June 7, 2024 KC:LR:OD If a receiver continues policies of life or health insurance or annuities issued by an insolvent insurer, and the policies are not covered in whole or in part by a guaranty association, the receiver may elect to assume the liquidated insurer's rights and obligations under reinsurance contracts relating to the policies or annuities within 180 days of the order of liquidation as specified in the act, provided the contracts have not been terminated. In this event, premiums for the applicable reinsurance shall be chargeable against the estate of the insolvent insurer. (Section 375.1183.4). Between the order of liquidation and the time a guaranty association elects to assume the insolvent insurer's rights and obligations under a reinsurance contract as specified in the act, a guaranty association, receiver, or reinsurer shall not have any right or obligation under any reinsurance contract eligible for assumption under the act. (Section 375.1183.5). If the guaranty association or receiver does not timely elect to assume a reinsurance contract as provided in the act, the reinsurance contract shall be terminated retroactively, effective as of the date of the order of liquidation, and shall be subject to mandatory negotiation and arbitration procedures specified in the act. (Section 375.1183.6). When policies or annuities, or the obligations of the guaranty association under the policies or annuities, are transferred to an assuming insurer, associated reinsurance may be transferred to the assuming insurer as well, subject to certain limitations specified in the act.

This act shall supercede provisions of law or any affected reinsurance contract with regard to payment of reinsurance proceeds for losses or events occurring after an order of liquidation. (Section 375.1183.8). When a reinsurance contract is terminated pursuant to the Insurers Supervision, Rehabilitation and Liquidation Act, the reinsurer and the receiver shall commence mandatory negotiation and arbitration procedures laid out in the act. (Section 375.1183.9). This act shall be construed consistent with the existing power of the Missouri Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Association to assume the rights of insolvent insurers under reinsurance contracts. (Section 375.1183.11). ASSIGNMENT OF INSURANCE BENEFITS (Section 376.427) This act subjects certain payments to health care providers to the prompt pay statute, and provides that entities not currently subject to the prompt pay statute shall "have a delayed effective date of January 1, 2026 to be subject to such provisions". METHODS OF REIMBURSEMENT TO HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS (Section 376.1345) Currently, if a health carrier initiates or changes the method used to reimburse a health care provider to a method that requires the provider to pay a fee or remit some other form of remuneration, the carrier must notify the provider of the cost, provide clear instructions as to how to select an alternative payment method, and use that alternative method if requested by the provider. This act requires the health carrier or entity acting on its behalf to first receive approval from the health care provider before reimbursing the health care provider with such payment method. If a health carrier is currently reimbursing a health care provider with a payment L.R. No. 5286H.07T Bill No. Truly Agreed To and Finally Passed HCS for SS for SB 1359 Page 21 of 24 June 7, 2024 KC:LR:OD method, the health care provider can send one notice to the health carrier for all the health care provider's patients covered by such health carrier stating that the health care provider declines to be reimbursed with a payment method.

All payments made by the health carrier to the health care provider after receipt of the notice declining to be reimbursed with a payment method cannot require the health care provider to pay a fee, discount the amount of the provider's claim for reimbursement, or remit any other form of remuneration in order to redeem the amount of the provider's claim for reimbursement.

The act voids agreements between the Department and mutual insurers as to additional Department authority, but benefits, allowances, and concessions granted to the insurers shall remain in effect for the duration of the agreements. The act further enacts provisions relating to reinsurance requirements and corresponding filings with the Department, Department review of proposed mergers between mutual insurance companies, and examinations of mutual insurance companies by the Department. Lastly, the act describes when a mutual insurance company is considered "insolvent", and specifies that mutual insurance companies shall be subject to the Insurers Supervision, Rehabilitation, and Liquidation Act with the exception of certain provisions, and shall be subject to other provisions pertaining to the commencement of court proceedings by the Director of the Department of Commerce and Insurance. REAL ESTATE LOANS - AGRICULTURE ACTIVITY (Section 408.035) Current law prohibits parties from agreeing in writing to any rate of interest, fees, and other terms and conditions in connection with any loan of less than $5,000 secured by real estate used for agricultural activity.

Specifically, the act requires filing a registration form, submitting a fee of $100, and obtaining a surety bond in the amount of $10,000. A registration renewal is required every year, not later than January 31st. Violations of these provisions are punishable by a fine of $500 per incident, not to exceed $20,000 for all aggregated violations.
