This bill amends various sections of Alaska's insurance laws to enhance regulatory oversight and clarify insurance practices. A significant change is the introduction of a new subsection that allows prosecutions for life insurance-related offenses to begin within one year of discovery, even if the general time limitation has expired, but not extending the limitation period by more than 20 years. The bill also expands the scope of entities subject to examination by the director of insurance to include pharmacy benefits managers and third-party administrators, allowing for examinations whenever deemed necessary. Additionally, it modifies health care insurers' requirements to offer a non-network option during initial enrollment and revises tax obligations for insurers, including a new tax rate for wet marine and transportation insurance.

Further amendments focus on licensing requirements for third-party administrators and pharmacy benefits managers, changing terminology from "registration" to "licensure" and establishing specific requirements for obtaining and renewing licenses. The bill mandates that insurers cannot engage with unlicensed third-party administrators and outlines conditions for immediate license suspension. It also introduces new definitions and requirements for health maintenance organizations (HMOs), including the composition of their governing bodies and coverage for emergency services. Overall, the bill aims to strengthen the regulatory framework governing insurance practices in Alaska, enhance consumer protection, and ensure transparency in the insurance industry.
