Bill Summary

This bill repeals the "New Jersey Health Insurance Market Preservation Act" which requires most individuals, other than those who qualify for certain exemptions, to obtain health insurance or pay a penalty. Existing law requires every resident taxpayer of the State to obtain health insurance coverage that qualifies as "minimum essential coverage." This bill repeals that requirement. In addition, the bill removes a provision of existing law funding the New Jersey Health Insurance Premium Security Fund, in part, from the penalties collected from those who do not meet the State's minimum essential coverage requirement.
