Establishing a division of health insurance

AI Summary

This bill establishes a "division of health insurance" and makes numerous changes across various chapters of Massachusetts General Laws to reflect this new division and a corresponding "commissioner of health insurance." Essentially, the bill renames and reorganizes existing functions related to health insurance, shifting them from the "commissioner of insurance" and "division of insurance" to the new "commissioner of health insurance" and "division of health insurance" where appropriate, particularly concerning the oversight and regulation of health insurance markets and related entities. This includes updating references in laws governing various types of health plans, insurance companies, and regulatory bodies to reflect the new structure.
