2012 legislative proposals

Our top legislative priorities for this year's short legislative session involve reforming the state's health care insurance system:

• Non-profit health insurer surplus (SB 5247) - Gives the insurance commissioner the explicit authority to consider a health insurer's surplus when reviewing a rate request.
• Exchange legislation (HB 2319/SB 6178) - Creates a healthy and stable marketplace within Washington's new Health Benefit Exchange.  

We're also proposing legislation to make minor or technical changes in existing insurance laws, including aligning state law with federal health care reform.
