What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
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.
