Governor's Bill No. 87 aims to strengthen nonprofit organizations in Connecticut by establishing a Nonprofit Provider Advisory Board within the Office of Policy and Management. This board will consist of ten members appointed by the Governor, along with various state agency representatives, and will advise on improving access to services, promoting collaboration among state agencies, enhancing the financial viability of nonprofits, and developing a standardized workforce data collection system. The board's members will serve terms coterminous with the Governor.
Additionally, the bill introduces several provisions related to insurance policies. Starting January 1, 2027, insurers are prohibited from refusing to renew automobile liability insurance policies or increasing premiums solely based on the insured being a volunteer driver for a nonprofit or charitable organization. It also restricts insurers from retroactively denying or recouping payments for health insurance claims after twelve months from the receipt of a clean claim. Furthermore, it amends existing regulations to limit the timeframe for health organizations to cancel or demand the return of payments for authorized services to twelve months, replacing the previous eighteen-month period.
