Bill > SF3295

This bill updates and modifies regulations related to Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) and insurance oversight by making several technical changes across multiple Minnesota statutes. The bill primarily adjusts the regulatory responsibilities between the commissioners of commerce and health, expanding the commissioner of health's role in overseeing HMOs. Key modifications include allowing both the commerce and health commissioners to access and examine insurance holding company systems, clarifying that the term "commissioner" can refer to either the commerce or health commissioner depending on the context, and updating rules regarding HMO compliance and examination expenses. The bill also removes some existing provisions about HMO regulations in Minnesota Rules, potentially streamlining the regulatory framework. These changes aim to provide more clarity and flexibility in how HMOs are regulated, ensuring proper oversight while potentially reducing administrative complexity by allowing either commissioner to handle certain regulatory functions related to health maintenance organizations.
