Maddy summarySB 2010 requires health insurers in Rhode Island to disclose how they use artificial intelligence (AI) to manage claims and coverage decisions, particularly for denials of medically necessary care. Insurers must document AI-driven decisions for five years, report system details to regulators, and ensure licensed healthcare providers review and approve any AI-related denial of medically necessary care before finalizing it. The bill mandates transparency about AI models, training data, and performance metrics, while requiring annual reports to the governor and legislature on insurer AI usage. This directly affects health insurers, enrollees (policyholders), and healthcare providers involved in coverage decisions.

Maddy summarySB 2089 amends retirement rules to allow certain retired public employees to work without losing their retirement benefits. Specifically, it permits paid members of the Rhode Island state labor relations board to continue receiving benefits while working, removing an automatic suspension that previously applied to post-retirement employment. The bill also establishes clear limits for other roles (like municipal work under 75 days/year or part-time teaching) where benefits remain intact, though no additional service credits or contributions are granted.
