CA AB 1929

withdrawn

Health care coverage: investments: disclosure.

California · 2025-2026 Regular Session · lower

Description

Existing federal law, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) , requires each state to establish an American Health Benefit Exchange to facilitate the purchase of qualified health benefit plans by qualified individuals and qualified small employers. Existing state law creates the California Health Benefit Exchange, also known as Covered California, to facilitate the enrollment of qualified individuals and qualified small employers in qualified health plans offered by participating carriers as required under PPACA. This bill would require a carrier participating in the Exchange to annually disclose its material investment holdings to the Exchange on or before July 1 of each year, unless otherwise specified by regulation, beginning on July 1, 2027. The bill would require the Exchange to prominently display, and make accessible to the public, those disclosures on its internet website. If a carrier fails to comply with the disclosure requirements, the bill would require the Exchange to assess an administrative penalty against the carrier, as specified. The bill would require the Exchange to prominently post the carrier's noncompliance status on its internet website until compliance is achieved.
