INSURANCE -- Amends existing law to clarify an exemption from the insurance code for health care sharing ministries.

AI Summary

This bill amends existing law to clarify an exemption from the insurance code for health care sharing ministries. Health care sharing ministries are faith-based nonprofit organizations that facilitate the sharing of medical expenses among their participants, without being considered insurance providers. The bill outlines the specific requirements for a health care sharing ministry to qualify for this exemption, such as limiting participation to those of a similar faith, facilitating the sharing of medical expenses, and providing certain written disclosures to participants. The bill also specifies that the operation of a qualifying health care sharing ministry does not constitute an unfair or deceptive trade practice.
