What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill requires the Department of Revenue to include questions on an
individual income tax return to determine whether the taxpayer or any member of
the taxpayer's household does not have health care coverage under a health
insurance policy or health plan. If the taxpayer indicates that the taxpayer or any
member of the taxpayer's household does not have health care coverage, DOR shall,
at the taxpayer's request, forward the taxpayer's response to the Office of the
Commissioner of Insurance to have OCI evaluate whether the taxpayer or a member
of the taxpayer's household is eligible for state-sponsored health coverage or for
health insurance for which federal subsidies are available. Under the bill, OCI must
create a mechanism, in collaboration with DOR, to track the number of persons who
obtain health care coverage as a result of the OCI evaluations under the bill.
