Bill > HB2527

This bill amends the Illinois Funeral or Burial Funds Act to introduce a new term, "transportation protection agreement," which is defined as an agreement primarily focused on preparing and transporting human or cremated remains. The bill specifically clarifies that transportation protection agreements are exempt from the Illinois Insurance Code, meaning these agreements will not be regulated as insurance products. The bill also expands existing exemptions in the Act to include not just pre-need cemetery sales, but also merchandise delivered within 30 days of purchase and transportation protection agreements. The changes aim to provide clarity around the legal status of agreements related to funeral and burial services, specifically those involving the transportation of remains. By defining and exempting transportation protection agreements from insurance regulations, the bill appears to create a distinct legal category for these specific types of service agreements in the funeral and burial industry.
