AI Summary

This bill creates a new section of the Kentucky Revised Statutes (KRS) to prohibit certain trade practices relating to the sale of Medicare supplement policies to certain applicants, including individuals under the age of 65 who are eligible for Medicare due to disability or medical condition. The bill requires insurers to make Medicare supplement policies available to these non-age eligible applicants and caps the premium rates for these policies at the weighted average aged premium rate.
