CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2019–2020 REGULAR SESSION

Assembly Bill
No. 3225


Introduced by Assembly Member Wood

February 21, 2020


An act to amend Section 100503.1 of the Government Code, relating to health care coverage.


LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


AB 3225, as introduced, Wood. California Health Benefit Exchange.
Existing federal law, the federal 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 (Exchange), also known as Covered California, to facilitate the enrollment of qualified individuals and qualified small employers in qualified health plans as required under PPACA. Existing law requires the Exchange board to ensure that a direct link to the formulary or formularies of each qualified health benefit plan offered through the Exchange is posted on the Exchange’s internet website through which an enrollee or prospective employee may obtained standardized comparative information on plans.
This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to that provision.
Vote: MAJORITY   Appropriation: NO   Fiscal Committee: NO   Local Program: NO  

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:


SECTION 1.

 Section 100503.1 of the Government Code is amended to read:

100503.1.
  The board shall ensure that the Internet Web site internet website maintained under subdivision (c) of Section 100502 provides a direct link to the formulary, or formularies, for each qualified health plan offered through the Exchange that is posted by the carrier pursuant to Section 1367.205 of the Health and Safety Code or Section 10123.192 of the Insurance Code.
