SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE:

Group accident and sickness insurance coverage. Allows coverage under a group accident and sickness insurance policy to be extended to insure any person who the insured group member elects, provided such extension of coverage is agreed to by the insurer and the group policyholder. The measure also specifically authorizes coverage under such group policies to be extended to children of the insured group member who are older than 19, or 25 if a full-time student, as may mutually be agreed upon by the insurer and group policyholder. Currently, group policy coverage may be extended only to the insured group member's spouse and children under 19, or dependent children under 25 who are full-time students.

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Accident and sickness insurance; coverage for household members. Permits an accident and sickness insurance policy to be extended to include coverage for persons (i) in whom the primary insured has an insurable interest, and (ii) who reside in the same household as the insured. Current law permits coverage to be extended only to a spouse or dependent children of the insured.
