action postponed indefinitely
Summary
The bill directs the Legislative Finance Committee to hire a contractor who can analyze the financial and health impacts of any bill that would change health‑insurer coverage rules. Each legislator may ask for a review, but only up to two proposals per party in each chamber are guaranteed, with party leaders choosing which ones to study if more requests are made. The contractor must estimate effects on residents, premiums, out‑of‑pocket costs, state spending and other health outcomes, and the results are posted online each year.
