What changed in the latest version
15 added · 22 removedPlain-language change summary
The proposed changes to Bill SB 717 clarify the role of the Commission in reviewing and approving premium rates for accident and sickness insurance plans. It specifies that this review will apply to both individual and small group markets and outlines that insurance plans offered through various group arrangements, not just employer plans, will also be considered. This matters because it ensures that more insurance options are subject to regulatory oversight, potentially leading to fairer pricing and better consumer protections for residents in Virginia.
