AI Summary
This bill authorizes the Mississippi Commissioner of Insurance to apply for a State Innovation Waiver under Section 1332 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), a federal law that aims to expand health insurance coverage. This waiver would allow the state to seek flexibility in implementing certain provisions of the ACA, potentially enabling the Commissioner to establish or modify programs, rules, and policies related to health insurance exchanges, accept federal funds, create advisory boards, and utilize existing state health insurance risk pool resources, all without being strictly bound by standard procurement rules for certain services.
