AI Summary

This bill requires the Inspector General to conduct a review and report to the legislature by December 2015 on the financial impact of the total costs associated with the Health Connector, which is a state-run health insurance marketplace, and compliance with the Affordable Care Act, a federal law aimed at expanding health insurance coverage. The review will specifically analyze state funds spent on temporary health coverage, including amounts that could have been reimbursed by the federal government if the Connector's website had worked correctly, and will also investigate ways to recover these funds, such as through legal means or by collecting from third-party vendors contracted by the state.
