Bill > SF3779

This bill establishes a new framework for the sale and regulation of travel insurance in Minnesota, defining key terms like "limited lines travel insurance producer" (a licensed agent or administrator who sells travel insurance) and "travel retailer" (a business that arranges travel and may offer travel insurance on behalf of a producer). It requires travel retailers and producers to be licensed or registered, outlines specific disclosures that must be provided to consumers, and clarifies that travel retailers can only offer general information about travel insurance, not provide advice or answer technical questions. The bill also addresses compensation for travel retailers, the responsibilities of producers for the actions of retailers, and establishes rules for travel protection plans, which can combine travel insurance with other services like travel assistance. Furthermore, it clarifies that travel insurance will be regulated under an inland marine line of insurance, with some exceptions for health-related coverage, and sets forth premium tax requirements for travel insurance premiums paid by Minnesota residents.
