HB 4338   

HB 4338 adds several new requirements for agents. Although HB 4338 becomes effective September 1, 2009, some of its requirements will not be operative as a practical matter until relevant rules and forms are in place.

Effective September 1, 2009, HB 4338 requires that new abstract plants comply with HB 4338 requirements as to abstract plant age. Existing plants have until 1/1/2014 to meet the new requirements. New HB 4338 requirements as to quarterly withholding reports, management training, and minimum capitalization will be further defined through rules and forms before those requirements become operative.
