The bill amends the Alabama Sunset Law of 1981 by specifically removing the Department of Insurance from the list of agencies subject to review under this law. The new legal language inserted into the current law clarifies that the Department of Insurance is not an enumerated agency and therefore will not undergo the review process established by the Sunset Law. This change is intended to exempt the Department from periodic evaluations that other agencies may face.
The act is set to take effect on June 1, 2024, following its passage in the House on February 20, 2024, and in the Senate on April 9, 2024. The bill reflects a legislative decision to maintain the Department of Insurance's operations without the scrutiny of the Sunset Law, which could impact its regulatory functions and oversight.
