S.B. No. 2077 amends the qualifications for members of the board of directors of the Texas Mutual Insurance Company by updating the criteria that disqualify individuals from serving on the board. The bill specifies that an individual cannot serve if they or a related individual within the first degree of consanguinity or affinity is a licensed insurance agent, serves in any capacity for an insurer writing workers' compensation insurance in Texas, or has a financial interest in such an insurer. Additionally, the bill clarifies that individuals who receive substantial benefits from the company or are associated with insurance associations are also disqualified.

The bill ensures that current board members are not affected by these changes, allowing them to continue serving their terms despite the new qualifications. The act will take effect immediately if it receives a two-thirds majority vote in both houses; otherwise, it will take effect on September 1, 2025.
