What it does
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill extends the appropriations for winding up the affairs of the Health Insurance Risk-Sharing Plan (HIRSP) by one year.
HIRSP, which provided health insurance coverage to certain persons, was dissolved, and coverage under HIRSP was finally terminated for all individuals on March 31, 2014. Two appropriations to the Office of the Commissioner of Insurance that provided funding for the affairs of HIRSP and winding up the affairs of HIRSP were repealed, effective January 1, 2016, in the 2015-16 biennial budget act. This bill changes the date of the repeal of those appropriations to January 1, 2017.
