CHIP-RECOUP DEFICITS

Amends the Comprehensive Health Insurance Plan Act. Provides that any deficit incurred or expected to be incurred on behalf of eligible persons who qualify for plan coverage under the provisions concerning eligibility shall be recouped by an assessment of all insurers made in accordance with the provisions concerning deficit or surplus (instead of by an appropriation made by the General Assembly). Provides that the Comprehensive Health Insurance Plan Board shall, within 90 days after the effective date of the amendatory Act and within the first quarter of each fiscal year thereafter, assess all insurers for the anticipated deficit. Provides that the Board may also make additional assessments no more than 4 times a year to fund unanticipated deficits, implementation expenses, and cash flow needs. Makes a technical change to update Section numbering. Effective immediately.
