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 is therefore exempt from the provisions of the Sunset Law, which typically requires periodic review of state agencies to determine their effectiveness and necessity.
This change is significant as it ensures that the Department of Insurance will not face the same scrutiny and potential dissolution that other agencies may encounter under the Sunset Law. 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.
