DESCRIPTION



This act clarifies a not-for-profit statute that limits corporate distributions. The current statute does not reference public corporations formed for self-insurance purposes. The provisions for those corporations are found in sovereign immunity statutes and do allow for certain distributions. This act would clarify that not-for-profit insurance companies established by

political subdivisions may make distributions in conformity with Sections 537.020 and 537.635, RSMo.



This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not DESCRIPTION (continued)



require additional capital improvements or rental space.
