Bill Summary

A bill for an act relating to a hawk-i program purchase option, and including effective date and contingent implementation provisions.

AI Summary

This bill seeks to establish a program that allows individuals with incomes above the maximum eligibility limit for the HAWK-I program (a health insurance program for children in Iowa) to purchase coverage through the HAWK-I program, rather than through the federal Health Insurance Marketplace or an individual health plan. The bill directs the director of the Department of Human Services to seek federal waivers to implement this program, and outlines various requirements and considerations, such as establishing a premium rate, maintaining benefits, and addressing potential impacts on the HAWK-I program and health insurance market. The bill also includes an immediate effective date and a provision that implementation of the program is contingent on further legislative approval if it requires state financial contribution.
