What AB 2066 does, verified September 4, 2026
This bill aims to make pregnancy a triggering event for enrolling or changing a health benefit plan. It would allow individuals to switch plans without a waiting period due to pregnancy. The bill would also impose penalties on health care service plans that fail to comply with this provision, making it a crime. The state would be responsible for reimbursing local agencies and school districts for the costs associated with implementing this law. However, no reimbursement would be required for certain administrative costs.
