AI Summary
This bill amends Kansas law to provide for short-term, limited-duration health insurance plans. The key changes are: (1) It expands the definition of "short-term, limited-duration" insurance policies to allow for renewal or extension periods up to a maximum of 36 months total duration, up from the previous limit of 6 months. (2) It exempts these short-term, limited-duration policies from certain requirements, such as continuation provisions under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and medical loss ratio calculations for individual health insurance. Overall, the bill aims to increase access to temporary or short-term health insurance coverage options in Kansas.
