AI Summary
This bill amends the Insurance Company Law of 1921 to extend the age limit for dependent children to be covered under a health insurance policy from 19 to 26 years old. It also prohibits insurers from denying or restricting coverage based on factors like the child's financial dependency, residency, marital status, enrollment in school, or employment status. Additionally, the bill allows policyholders to continue coverage for their children up to age 29, at the policyholder's expense, as long as the child meets certain requirements. The amendments in this bill apply to health insurance policies offered, issued, or renewed on or after the effective date.
