AI Summary
This bill amends the insurance law to allow pregnant individuals to enroll in the state health insurance exchange, which is a marketplace for health insurance plans established under the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (also known as Obamacare), at any time after their pregnancy begins, in addition to any other special enrollment periods already available. Once enrolled, any health plan chosen through the exchange must provide coverage starting on the date the pregnant individual applied. This change is set to take effect on January 1, 2016.
