The resolution proposes an interim study to explore the barriers faced by multiple employer insurance plans, which enable employers to pool their risks and jointly purchase health insurance for their employees. This approach is particularly beneficial for smaller employers, as it can lower administrative costs, improve access to competitive insurance rates, and provide the advantages typically associated with large group plans. The study will encompass a comprehensive review of relevant state and federal statutes, as well as rules and regulations governing these insurance plans.

The Banking, Commerce and Insurance Committee of the Nebraska Legislature is tasked with conducting this interim study. Upon completion, the committee is required to report its findings and recommendations to the Legislative Council or the Legislature, thereby informing future legislative actions regarding multiple employer insurance plans.
