Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Emergency repair help for service contract holders
Beginning October 1, 2026, qualifying service contracts must offer 24-hour phone help or explain how to get after-hours emergency repairs. This applies to contracts covering services essential to public health, safety, or welfare. These contracts must also reimburse third-party repairs that require prior approval.
Service contract fees move to examination fund
Beginning October 1, 2026, Alabama sends service contract provider registration fees to the Special Examination Revolving Fund. Providers still pay $200 annually, subject to inflation-linked adjustments under state law. The law changes the fee destination, not the stated fee amount. Any unspent, uncommitted balance in the former Service Contract Revolving Fund moves to the examination fund on that date.
