What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill defines short-term, limited-duration insurance using the federal government's definition. Under the bill, if the federal government defines short-term, limited-duration insurance to have shorter initial and aggregate durations than current law and if the federal law no longer preempts the state law, the commissioner shall define short-term, limited-duration insurance as insurance that complies with current state law. Under current state law, an insurer is not required to renew short-term coverage, which is coverage that is marketed and designed to provide short-term coverage as a bridge between health coverage with an initial term of not more than 12 months and an aggregate term of all consecutive periods of coverage that does not exceed 18 months. The current federal regulation defines short-term, limited-duration to have an initial expiration date that is less than 12 months after the effective date and an aggregate duration, including renewals or extensions, of no longer than 36 months.
