LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
Existing law, the Knox-Keene Health Care Service Plan Act of 1975, provides for the licensure and regulation of health care service plans by the Department of Managed Health Care. Existing law provides for the regulation of health insurers by the Department of Insurance. Under existing law, specified persons are exempt from that regulation by the Department of Managed Health Care or the Department of Insurance.
This bill would authorize a student health plan operated by a bona fide, private, nonprofit institution of higher learning to operate in California if the institution files a yearly report with the Director of the Department of Managed Health Care that certifies specified
information, including information relating to specific coverage the student health plan would provide, and the characteristics the institution would use for purposes of establishing rates for individual students and any dependents. The bill would require the report to be certified under penalty of perjury. The bill would exempt a student health plan that complies with those requirements from other regulation by the Department of Managed Health Care or the Department of Insurance, except as specified. By expanding the crime of perjury, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a
specified reason.
This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
