AI Summary

This bill amends the Insurance Company Law of 1921 to provide for insulin coverage in casualty insurance policies. Specifically, the bill caps the copayment, coinsurance, or deductible for a 30-day supply of insulin at $100, regardless of the amount or type of insulin needed. The bill also requires the state Attorney General to investigate the pricing of prescription insulin drugs and submit a report with policy recommendations to the state legislature within one year. The bill excludes certain policy types, such as accident only, fixed indemnity, and dental, from the insulin coverage requirement.
