Health maintenance organization regulations updated.

HF 3053 updates Minnesota's regulatory framework for health maintenance organizations (HMOs) by clarifying which state agency oversees them. The bill amends specific statutes to specify that the commissioner of health - not the commissioner of commerce - has primary authority for HMO regulation, including examinations, rule-making, and compliance with insurance rules. This change ensures HMOs follow Health Department procedures rather than Commerce Department rules for matters like financial reviews and reporting. The bill also adjusts related provisions to align with this updated division of responsibility between state agencies.
