EXPENDITURE EXPLANATION
There is no anticipated direct material effect on governmental expenditures as a result of this measure. If a person is forced
to temporarily relocate out-of-state during a gubernatorial declared state of emergency for a named storm and that person
has a diagnosed disease or condition that requires life-sustaining treatments, the proposed law requires health insurers to
provide 24 hours per day, 7 days a week coverage to that person where they have relocated, extending out-of-network
coverage.
The Office of Group Benefits (OGB) reports the definition of “health insurance issuer” in the proposed law does not include
OGB.
REVENUE EXPLANATION
There is no anticipated direct material effect on governmental revenues as a result of this measure.
