Plain-language change summary

The revised version of SB 6248 clarifies which laws apply to travel insurance, specifying that certain provisions in this chapter will take precedence over other general laws. This change is significant because it helps eliminate confusion and ensures a consistent regulatory framework for travel insurance.
