Plain-language change summary

The updated version of HB 1323 specifies that only employees with long-term care insurance purchased before July 28, 2019, can apply for an exemption from the premium assessment. This change creates a clear cutoff date and emphasizes that employees over 18 can seek this exemption. It's important because it defines eligibility more precisely, ensuring that only those with specific insurance policies qualify, which could impact the number of people who can opt-out of this premium requirement.
