AI Summary
This bill modifies Mississippi's Telephone Solicitation Act to allow telephone solicitors to contact individuals about Medicare Advantage Plans and Medicare Supplement Plans if they have an existing business relationship with the solicitor or if the individual has previously requested contact from the company. It also corrects a reference in the law, clarifies that insurance agents are exempt from certain solicitation requirements, and removes a prohibition against companies that issue Medicare Supplement policies making telephone solicitations. These changes aim to provide more flexibility for legitimate communication regarding Medicare-related insurance products while still respecting consumer preferences against unsolicited calls.
