SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)
Health Insurance Reform Commission. Requires the Division of Legislative Services to provide legal, research, policy analysis, and other staffing services to the Health Insurance Reform Commission (Commission). Staffing for the Commission is currently provided by the Bureau of Insurance of the State Corporation Commission (Bureau) and the Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission (JLARC). The Bureau and JLARC continue to be responsible for assessing aspects of legislative measures that propose to mandate coverage for a new health insurance benefit or provider. The measure charges the Bureau and JLARC with providing the Commission with annual assessments of the implications of the implementation of the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) on residents of the Commonwealth, businesses operating within the Commonwealth, and the general fund of the Commonwealth. The measure also revises the process by which assessments of proposals for new mandated benefits or providers will be conducted. The measure clarifies that the Chairmen of the House and Senate Committees on Commerce and Labor may request the Commission to assess a legislative measure if it has conducted an assessment of an identical or substantially similar legislative measure within the preceding three years.
