Bill > HB0705

This bill amends Tennessee law to expand the definition of "portable electronics insurance" to include "optical products insurance," which encompasses smart glasses and non-electronic eyewear like eyeglasses and sunglasses, and makes related changes to how these types of insurance are regulated and disclosed. Specifically, it clarifies that vendors selling portable electronics or optical products can bill and collect insurance charges, and if the insurance is included with the purchase, the vendor must clearly inform the customer. The bill also adds a new section to the law that requires group health insurance policies to allow employees or members to continue their coverage for a limited time after termination, under certain conditions, by paying the full premium.
