Bill > SB982

This bill amends The Insurance Company Law of 1921 to extend the age limit for health insurance coverage of dependent children from 19 to 26 years old, and to prohibit health insurers from denying or restricting coverage based on factors like the child's financial dependency, residency, marital status, or enrollment in school. The bill also allows for optional continuation of coverage for children of insured employees up to age 29, at the employee's expense, as long as the child meets certain criteria. The amendments apply to health insurance policies offered, issued, or renewed on or after the effective date of the bill.
