Senate Bill 1238, written by state Sens. Lois Kolkhorst (R-Brenham) and Mayes Middleton (R-Galveston), will make it illegal for insurers to discriminate against people whose spouses have died by reclassifying them as “single” and raising their rates. Gov. Greg Abbott signed the measure into law last week.
