AN ACT RELATING TO STATE AFFAIRS AND GOVERNMENT --THE RHODE ISLAND HEALTH CARE REFORM ACT OF 2004 -- HEALTH INSURANCE OVERSIGHT

This bill allocates an additional $117,600 to implement rate increases recommended by Rhode Island's health insurance commissioner. It directly affects the state's health insurance oversight office, providing funding to support commissioner-approved premium adjustments for insurers. The key mechanism is a budgetary allocation to cover these rate changes, ensuring the commissioner's recommendations can be executed. This is a procedural funding measure, not a substantive policy change.
