Bill > SB97

This bill modifies the composition of the Board of Directors for the Silver State Health Insurance Exchange by requiring the Governor to appoint a new voting member who is a member of an Indian tribe located in Nevada and has expertise in tribal health care administration. Currently, the Board consists of seven voting members (five appointed by the Governor, one by the Senate Majority Leader, and one by the Assembly Speaker) and three ex officio nonvoting members. The bill specifies that four of the Governor's appointees must have expertise in areas like health insurance, health care administration, or consumer advocacy, and the new tribal representative will be an additional appointment. The bill ensures that Board members collectively represent diverse skills, knowledge, and perspectives, and prohibits legislators or elected state officials from serving as voting members. The new tribal representative appointment will take effect on July 1, 2025, replacing an existing gubernatorial appointee. For clarity, the bill also defines an "Indian tribe" as a federally recognized American Indian tribe according to specific federal regulations.
