To adapt to the changing modes of travel and traveler expectations, changes need to be made to state statute regarding travel insurance.
Signed by Gov. Mark Dayton April 4, and effective July 1, 2012, a new law “modernizes the definition of travel insurance and regulates how travel agents disseminate travel insurance information,” according to Rep. Jenifer Loon (R-Eden Prairie), who sponsors the law along with Sen. David Brown (R-Becker).
Of note, the new law clarifies that travel insurance does not include major medical plans, which provide comprehensive medical protection for travelers with trips lasting six months or longer, including those working overseas as an expatriate or military personnel being deployed.
