Makes revisions to the Silver State Health Insurance Exchange. (BDR 57-346)
SB 97 amends Nevada's Silver State Health Insurance Exchange Board by requiring one of the five Governor-appointed voting members to be a member of a Nevada Indian tribe with expertise in tribal health care administration. The bill updates board composition rules to ensure representation of tribal health expertise alongside existing requirements for members with expertise in health insurance, administration, consumer advocacy, or health care delivery. It maintains the Board's structure of seven voting members (including four appointed by the Governor, one by the Senate Majority Leader, and one by the Assembly Speaker) plus three advisory nonvoting members from state departments. The change directly affects the Exchange's governance, aiming to incorporate tribal perspectives into decisions about health insurance programs for Nevadans.
