Bill > SB00341

This bill would amend section 38a-1083 of Connecticut's general statutes to require the Connecticut Health Insurance Exchange (established under section 38a-1081) to obtain legislative approval before making two specific changes to health carrier assessments and user fees: (1) modifying any existing assessment or user fee charged to health carriers, and (2) imposing any new assessment or user fee on health carriers. In practical terms, this means the exchange would need explicit permission from the state legislature before it could adjust or create fees for health insurance companies operating within the state. The bill aims to provide additional oversight and legislative control over the financial mechanisms of the state's health insurance exchange, potentially limiting the exchange's ability to independently alter its funding structure.
