An Act relative to small group eligibility
This bill increases the maximum employee count for "small group" health insurance eligibility from 50 to 75 employees. It directly affects small businesses with 51 to 75 employees, now allowing them to qualify as small groups for insurance purposes. The key provision amends a specific section of state law to adjust this numerical threshold. This change expands the number of businesses eligible for small group insurance coverage under existing regulations.
