Bill > HB3136

This bill repeals a provision of Missouri law that previously prohibited the establishment or operation of a state-based health benefit exchange, which is a marketplace for individuals and employers to purchase health insurance, unless specifically authorized by a bill passed by the General Assembly, an initiative petition, or a referendum. The repealed law also restricted executive orders from creating such exchanges and prevented state departments, agencies, or political subdivisions from establishing or operating them, or from accepting federal funds for them, without statutory authority. The bill effectively removes these specific prohibitions, allowing for the possibility of a state-based health benefit exchange to be created through the established legislative processes in the future.
