SCS/SB 788 - This act moves the Divisions of Finance, Credit Unions and Professional Registration, and the State Banking Board, to the Department of Insurance, Financial Institutions and Professional Registration (DIFP) by type III transfer in keeping with Executive Order 06-04. The act further renames the Department of Insurance to the DIFP, and directs the Revisor of Statutes to change all statutory references to the department to DIFP. The act also removes all references of the divisions of finance, credit unions and professional registration as being "within the Department of Economic Development" and instead states that such divisions are within the DIFP. The act moves sections regarding the division of professional registration from Chapter 620 (Department of Economic Development) to Chapter 324 (Occupations and Professions General Provisions), and changes references in those sections to accurately reflect the statutory modifications. The act further defines "department" and "director" at the beginning of each insurance-related chapter. This is similar in nature as SB 164 (2007). STEPHEN WITTE
