Bill Summary

A bill to amend 1956 PA 218, entitled"The insurance code of 1956,"by amending section 2434 (MCL 500.2434), as added by 1986 PA 173.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Michigan Insurance Code to require health insurers offering medical malpractice insurance to provide annual information about their policies related to perinatal care services to the state department. Specifically, insurers must submit this information by a date determined by the director, and the department must then forward these details to the Department of Health and Human Services within 60 days of receipt. The purpose of this information sharing is to support a study on perinatal care services mandated under section 2617b of the public health code. The bill also makes a minor terminology change, replacing the term "commissioner" with "director" in the existing law. Additionally, the bill is tie-barred to Senate Bill No. 29, which means it will only take effect if that companion bill is also passed. The overall goal appears to be increasing transparency and supporting research into perinatal care insurance practices in Michigan.
