AI Summary
This bill authorizes the Rhode Island Health Exchange to seek a waiver under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) to allow small business owners and sole proprietors to purchase health insurance plans through the Exchange's Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP) instead of being required to purchase coverage on the individual market. The bill aims to reduce the economic harm to small businesses caused by a recent ACA change that requires them to purchase individual rather than small group health plans.
