insurance; bona fide associations; qualifications
HB 2693 amends Arizona law to clarify and expand how "bona fide associations" can offer health insurance, primarily affecting small businesses and sole proprietors. It creates two types of qualifying associations: Path 1 (requiring specific membership rules and non-discrimination in coverage) and Path 2 (for associations meeting federal standards, allowing sole proprietors and "working owners" to access group plans without standard small-group requirements). The bill ensures these associations cannot deny coverage based on health status and mandates clear disclosure of coverage terms in all materials. It also specifies that associations meeting federal criteria, like chambers of commerce, can operate self-funded health plans under certain conditions.

MINOR
The bill was formally enacted into law after being approved by the Governor and filed with the Secretary of State. The text includes minor formatting adjustments, such as changing the header from 'HOUSE BILL' to 'CHAPTER' and removing a specific line about federal tax exemptions for chambers of commerce, likely to align with updated statutory language.
ELIGIBILITY
A specific sentence stating that statewide chambers of commerce are exempt from federal taxation was removed, likely because this exemption is now covered elsewhere in the law or is no longer necessary.
TIMELINE
Added official dates indicating the bill was approved by the Governor on June 4, 2026, and filed with the Secretary of State on June 5, 2026, marking its transition from draft to law.
TECHNICAL
The document header was updated to reflect that this is now 'Chapter 107' rather than just 'House Bill 2693', and the title was updated to 'Chapter 0107' to match official legislative formatting.
