Proposed Bill No. 211 aims to appropriate five million dollars from the General Fund to the office of the Attorney General for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027. The funding is intended to enhance the office's ability to investigate and enforce regulations concerning health insurance practices by health carriers. This includes addressing issues that affect access to healthcare, increase consumer costs, or violate existing federal or state laws.
Additionally, the bill mandates that the Attorney General's office submit a report to the relevant joint standing committees of the General Assembly by February 1, 2028. This report will summarize any investigations or enforcement actions taken regarding health insurance practices. The bill does not include any deletions from current law but introduces new provisions to strengthen oversight of health insurance practices.
