What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

On March 23, 2010, the federal government enacted the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which, among other things, imposes requirements and limitations on health insurance policies and health plans; requires the creation of American health benefit exchanges, which are health insurance exchanges through which individuals and small employers can purchase insurance; and creates incentives for improving access to health care. This bill requires that, before a state agency, including the governor, takes any action to create or implement an American health benefit exchange for which the agency would typically promulgate a rule or issue an executive order, the agency must request the Legislative Reference Bureau to prepare legislation that allows the agency to take the action. The agency must then submit the proposed legislation to each standing committee of each house of the legislature that has jurisdiction over health or insurance matters. The bill prohibits the agency from taking the action to create or implement an American health benefit exchange until the legislation allowing the agency to take the action takes effect. The bill also prohibits an agency from requesting a grant or other moneys from the federal government to create or implement an American health benefit exchange and from expending any state moneys, or federal moneys passing through the state treasury, to assist the federal government in creating an American health benefit exchange.
