INSURERS: Provides relative to employee benefit plans preempted by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. (gov sig)
SB 110 clarifies Louisiana's insurance regulations to align with federal law, specifically the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). It updates definitions of "health insurance issuer" across multiple statutes to explicitly exclude employee benefit plans already covered by ERISA, which takes precedence over state law. The bill ensures Louisiana's insurance rules apply only to plans not preempted by federal ERISA, preventing conflicting state and federal oversight. This affects health insurance companies and plans that would otherwise fall under federal ERISA jurisdiction. The changes are technical, removing references to ERISA-preempted plans from state definitions without creating new requirements.
