A 10788: Directs the superintendent of financial services to conduct a comprehensive study on mandatory health insurance coverage benefits within the state as compared to other states and the impacts of removing such requirements.
The bill requires the superintendent of financial services to conduct a study on mandatory health insurance coverage benefits in New York state compared to other states. The superintendent is to compare benefits required by New York state law to those required by other states and determine which benefits are unique to New York. The study will also examine the fiscal impacts of removing the requirements for benefits determined not to be required by the majority of other states. Additionally, the commissioner of health will be involved in assessing the health impacts on New York residents if the state removed these requirements. The superintendent's findings and recommendations will be issued to key legislative leaders and the governor within two years of the bill's effective date. The study and recommendations are to take effect immediately.
