Insurance; annual prostate cancer screenings for certain men; require major medical coverage

The bill's preamble was shortened by removing references to amending state employee health plans and medical assistance programs, focusing only on general insurance provisions.

A new Section 2 was added specifying that the Act becomes effective upon Governor approval or without approval, applying to policies issued on or after January 1, 2026.

Detailed provisions about cost-sharing requirements and tax compliance exceptions for high-deductible health plans were removed from the general insurance section.

The amendment to state employees' health insurance plan (Title 45) and medical assistance provisions (Title 49) were removed entirely from the bill.

The definition of 'Men with a high risk for prostate cancer' was slightly clarified to specify that family history applies only to men ages 40-49, while men 50+ are automatically considered high risk.

A new Section 3 was added to repeal all conflicting laws, providing clearer authority for the new requirements.
