Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Generally, this bill clarifies the requirements regarding social and financial 
impact reports that are required for bills and amendments containing health 
insurance mandates. Current law requires the Legislative Reference Bureau to 
submit a copy of a bill or amendment that requires a social and financial impact 
report to the Office of the Commissioner of Insurance when the bill or amendment 
is introduced. The bill clarifies, for amendments, that the LRB must submit a copy 
of an offered amendment to OCI if the amendment creates or alters a health 
insurance mandate.

Current law requires the commissioner of insurance to submit a report on the 
social and financial impact of any health insurance mandate contained in a bill or 
amendment, or, if the office decides not to submit the report, a written statement 
explaining the reason for not preparing the report. Currently, the commissioner 
must submit the report or written statement to the presiding officer of the house of 
the legislature in which the bill or amendment is introduced. The bill requires OCI 
to submit the report or written statement to the chief clerk of the house in which the 
bill or amendment is introduced or offered within ten working days after receiving 
a copy of the bill or amendment from the LRB. OCI is not required, however, to 
prepare or submit a report or statement for an amendment that has failed adoption 
or failed to be reported out of committee by the end of the next business day after 
receiving a copy of the amendment.

The bill requires the chief clerk in the house in which the bill or amendment is 
introduced or offered to ensure, by the end of the next business day after receiving 
the report or written statement from OCI, that 1) the report or written statement is 
printed as an appendix to the bill and distributed in the same manner as 
amendments and 2) the report or written statement is made available to the public. 
Current law similarly requires the report or written statement to be printed as an 
appendix, distributed in the same manner as amendments, and made available to 
the public.

Currently, a statute that requires a particular benefit design under an 
insurance policy, plan, or contract for the treatment of a partic
