AI Summary

This bill authorizes the Florida Health Insurance Exchange, which facilitates the purchase and sale of health and dental plans for individuals and small employers, to collect money through assessments or user fees from health insurance companies (health carriers) to cover its operational costs. It also requires the exchange to publicly post information on its website about the average costs associated with licensing, regulatory fees, and other payments, as well as its own administrative expenses, to help consumers understand these expenses, including any funds lost due to waste, fraud, and abuse. This provision is contingent on another bill, HB 1531, also becoming law during the same legislative session.
