Summary

The bill changes the Medical Malpractice Act so providers can use either claims‑made or occurrence‑based policies, but must buy tail coverage if they drop a claims‑made policy. It also revises the minimum insurance amounts and cash deposit requirements for different kinds of providers and tasks the superintendent with new risk assessments. The goal is to give providers more insurance options while keeping the state’s malpractice fund protected.
