CONCERNING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, ALGORITHMS, AND OTHER AUTOMATED TECHNOLOGIES; AND TO REGULATE CERTAIN PRACTICES OF HEALTHCARE INSURERS.

HB 1297 was an amendment to clarify which healthcare insurance plans are subject to existing regulations. It defined "health benefit plan" to explicitly include indemnity and managed care plans while removing specific plan types (like disease-specific or long-term-care-only plans) from the definition. The bill did not create new AI or algorithm regulations despite its title - it only adjusted technical definitions for insurance oversight. The amendment was adopted but the bill was withdrawn by the author on April 1, 2025, before further action. This was a procedural change to insurance plan definitions, not a substantive policy on AI.
