SB 84 Alabama Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Agricultural organization, nonprofit, health benefits, authorized to offer to members and families, conditions, specified not to be engaged in health insurance business

SB 84 authorizes specific nonprofit agricultural organizations (those meeting strict criteria like pre-1940 founding and 501(c)(5) status) to offer health benefits directly to their members and families. The bill requires these organizations to clearly state in writing that the benefits are not insurance and to have members sign this notice before enrollment. Organizations may also contract with licensed insurers to manage risk, while explicitly avoiding classification as "health insurers" under state law. This creates a defined pathway for agricultural nonprofits to support member health without triggering insurance regulations.
