Maddy summaryBill A 3365 limits the timeframe insurance companies have to recover overpayments from healthcare providers. It reduces the "lookback period" from the current 24 months to 12 months after the original payment was received. This means health plans must initiate overpayment recovery efforts within one year. However, this 12-month limit does not apply if the overpayment recovery is based on suspected fraud, intentional misconduct, abusive billing, or if it's initiated by a self-insured plan or government program. This bill directly affects how health insurance companies and healthcare providers manage financial discrepancies.

Maddy summaryThis bill exempts counties containing "boundary land" (as defined in state law) from standard identity document requirements for non-commercial driver's licenses and learners' permits. It modifies existing law to remove the need for applicants in these specific counties to provide federal-compliant ID documents (like foreign passports or consular IDs) when applying for such licenses. The key change directly affects non-commercial license applicants in those designated boundary counties, waiving a requirement that applies elsewhere in the state. The bill does not alter other license provisions like photo requirements or organ donor registry options.
