Sets forth provisions concerning the conditions of the extension of coverage. Provides that the prior insurer shall be liable only to the extent of its extensions of coverage. Includes provisions related to the liability of the succeeding insurer, including regular coverage, temporary coverage, deductible and waiting periods, and determinations of the prior insurer's coverage. Effective immediately.

Restores language concerning continuation of coverage during the insurer's total disability, but removes language providing that coverage of life insurance for an insured on total disability shall not go beyond the discontinuance of the group insurance policy.
