AI Summary

This bill requires the board of the Commonwealth Health Insurance Connector, which is an entity responsible for health insurance in Massachusetts, to report on any applications for waivers from the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare. Specifically, the bill mandates that the board must submit a report to relevant legislative committees, including the joint committee on health care financing and the house and senate committees on ways and means, at least 90 days before submitting an application for such a waiver and again within 10 days after submitting it. These reports must detail the proposed changes to the state's health plan and state laws that would result from the waiver. The bill is declared an emergency law, meaning it takes effect immediately upon passage, and is retroactively applied to November 2, 2015.
