 AN ACT to amend the insurance law and the public health law, in relation
 to establishing a health care disparities data collection system

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Subsections (d) and (e) of section 210 of the insurance
 2 law, subsection (d) as amended by chapter 207 of the laws of 2019 and
 3 subsection (e) as added by chapter 579 of the laws of 1998, are amended
 4 to read as follows:
 5 (d) Beginning no later than September first of the year following the
 6 effective date of the rules and regulations establishing the health care
 7 disparities data collection system, pursuant to title three-A of article
 8 two of the public health law, and on September first of the preceding
 9 year if practicable, in addition to the information required in
 10 subsections (a), (b) and (c) of this section, the superintendent shall
 11 include in such guide and selection of the data applicable to each
 12 insurer or entity from the health care disparities data collection
 13 system. Such data shall include data collected or compiled in regard to
 14 health care quality and health outcomes pursuant to section two thousand
 15 nine hundred ninety-five-c of the public health law or other data that
 16 is generally recognized as authoritative and reliable.
 17 (e) Health insurers and entities certified pursuant to article forty-
 18 four of the public health law shall provide annually to the superinten-
 19 dent and the commissioner of health, and the commissioner of health
 20 shall provide to the superintendent, all of the information necessary
 21 for the superintendent to produce the annual consumer guide, provided
 22 that this requirement shall not apply to information provided for in
 23 subsection (d) of this section if the superintendent already possesses
 24 such information as part of the data collection system provided for in
 25 title three-A of article two of the public health law. In compiling the

 1 guide, the superintendent shall make every effort to ensure that the
 2 information is presented in a clear, understandable fashion which facil-

 5 ers. The superintendent shall either include the information from the
 6 annual consumer guide in the consumer shopping guide required by
 7 subsection (a) of section four thousand three hundred twenty-three of
 8 this chapter or combine the two guides as long as consumers in the indi-
 9 vidual market are provided with the information required by subsection
 10 (a) of section four thousand three hundred twenty-three of this chapter.
 11 [(e)] (f) The superintendent shall contract with a national organiza-
 12 tion for the purposes of drafting and designing the guide, including the
 13 preparation of relevant explanatory material. Such organization shall
 14 have actual experience in preparing a similar guide for at least one
 15 other state. The superintendent, in consultation with the commissioner
 16 of health, may also contract with one or more national organizations to
 17 assist such commissioner in the collection of data and the analysis and
 18 auditing of the clinical measurers. Such organiza
