Bill > S01773

This bill amends the state finance law to require that any contractor doing business with the state must provide health insurance that covers supplemental breast cancer screenings. Specifically, the bill mandates that all state contracts include a clause stipulating that the contractor's health plan must cover these additional screenings, which go beyond standard mammograms. If a contractor is found to be participating in a health plan that does not include supplemental breast cancer screenings, their contract can be declared void by the state comptroller. The bill allows for existing contracts to remain in place, but any renewals, amendments, or modifications after the effective date must comply with the new requirement. The state comptroller is authorized to create and implement any necessary rules and regulations to enforce this provision. The act will take effect 90 days after becoming law and will apply to all contracts entered into, renewed, or modified on or after that date, aiming to ensure that state contractors provide comprehensive breast cancer screening coverage for their employees.
