Bill Summary
Relating to the enrollment period for newborns under certain employer health benefit plans.
AI Summary
This bill extends the enrollment period for newborns under certain employer health benefit plans in Texas. Specifically, it amends the Insurance Code to change the enrollment period from 32 days to 61 days after the child's birth, with the requirement that the health plan issuer receive notice of the birth and any required additional premium by the 60th day. The changes in this bill apply to health benefit plans delivered, issued, or renewed on or after January 1, 2024, with plans before that date continuing to be governed by the previous 32-day enrollment period.
