The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 62V.13, to enhance the MNsure easy enrollment health insurance outreach program. Key changes include allowing the commissioner of revenue to provide taxpayers with information about their potential eligibility for health insurance and financial assistance options through MNsure. The bill replaces the previous language that required MNsure to estimate taxpayer eligibility with a provision that allows MNsure to provide general information regarding potential eligibility for health insurance programs and financial assistance. Additionally, MNsure is tasked with conducting targeted outreach to assist households in applying for affordable health insurance options.

The bill also outlines the process for screening households for insurance assistance, stating that MNsure may review information to identify households that could benefit from health coverage and provide general information on available programs. It establishes a special enrollment period for taxpayers who receive an outreach letter from MNsure, allowing them 65 days to select a qualifying health plan. Furthermore, the bill clarifies that any information provided under this section is not appealable, although qualification for the special enrollment period can be appealed. The changes are set to take effect the day following final enactment.
