AI Summary

This bill aims to amend the existing law to allow students to waive participation in their institution's student health insurance program if they can demonstrate current participation in a health care sharing ministry provided by established religious organizations. The bill specifies that the health care sharing ministry must be comprised of individuals with sincerely held beliefs. This change would provide students with the option to opt-out of the institution's student health insurance plan if they are already enrolled in a qualified religious health care sharing ministry.
