Bill > SB0865

This bill amends Tennessee law to expand the definition of "portable electronics insurance" to include "optical products insurance," which encompasses smart glasses, non-electronic eyewear, and prescription or non-prescription eyeglasses and sunglasses, and clarifies that vendors selling these products or related services must clearly disclose if insurance coverage is included and separately itemize any charges for such coverage if not included. Additionally, the bill introduces a new provision requiring group health insurance policies that cover hospital, surgical, or major medical expenses to allow employees or members to continue their coverage for a limited time after termination, provided they pay the full premium, with certain exceptions such as non-payment of contributions or eligibility for Medicare.
