AI Summary
This bill authorizes the Rhode Island Division of Taxation to share contact information of individuals who reported being uninsured on their state income tax return with HealthSource RI, the state's health insurance marketplace, unless those individuals choose to opt out of such contact. This sharing of information, which includes name, address, and other contact details, is intended to help HealthSource RI reach out to these individuals about enrolling in health coverage. The authority to share this data is limited to tax years between January 1, 2026, and December 31, 2027, although HealthSource RI can retain and use the lawfully obtained information for specific purposes until December 31, 2029, after which it must be destroyed.
