TO REPEAL THE REQUIREMENT FOR A FISCAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR BILLS RELATED TO HEALTH BENEFIT PLANS; AND TO REPEAL THE BILL FILING DEADLINE FOR BILLS AFFECTING HEALTH BENEFIT PLANS OF ENTITIES OF THE STATE.

HB 1080 repeals two requirements affecting bills related to health benefit plans for state entities. It removes the need for a cost analysis report when bills impose new or increased costs on health benefit plans (including pharmacy benefits) for state agencies, schools, or other public entities. It also eliminates the 15-day deadline for introducing such bills during regular legislative sessions. This change simplifies the legislative process for health benefit plan-related bills by removing administrative hurdles. The bill directly affects state agencies, public schools, and other entities that manage health benefit programs.
