This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there are no live odds of enactment. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Summary

Existing law prohibits a stop-loss insurance policy issued, reissued, or renewed on or after January 1, 2016, to a small employer from containing an aggregate attachment point for a policy year that is less than the greater of one of the following: $5,000 multiplied by the total number of group members, 120% of expected claims, or $40,000. This bill would instead require that the $5,000 per group member attachment point be changed to $2,500 per qualified employee.
