Fiscal Note Summary


Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.


SB 56 would have a nominal impact on the revenues and expenditures of state government as they directly relate to the regulatory responsibilities of the Offices of the Insurance Commissioner (NO fiscal impact). The proposal expands coverage for pregnancy and contraceptive services to include spouses and dependents which may have an impact on PEIA. A fiscal note request has already been made of PEIA and should be read in conjunction with this note.

Commercial insurers (both individual and group health insurance providers) may file rates incorporating the expansion of benefits, but the process for rate review by the state would remain unchanged. No fiscal impact as it solely relates to the operations of the Offices of the Insurance Commissioner.
