AI Summary

This bill, the Expand Navigators' Resources for Outreach, Learning, and Longevity Act of 2021 (or the ENROLL Act of 2021), amends the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act to provide additional requirements for the navigator program. Key provisions include requiring exchanges established and operated by the federal government to select navigator entities based on their demonstrated capacity, prohibiting consideration of whether navigators will provide information about group health plans offered by associations or short-term limited duration insurance, ensuring at least one community and consumer-focused nonprofit group is awarded a navigator grant each year, expanding the duties of navigators to include providing information on Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program plans, and requiring navigators to maintain a physical presence in the state to allow for in-person assistance. The bill also obligates $100 million per fiscal year from user fees on participating health insurance issuers to fund the navigator program in federally-established exchanges.
