Relating to the enrollment period for newborns under certain employer health benefit plans.

HB 1101 extends the deadline for adding newborns to employer health insurance plans from 31 days to 60 days after birth. It applies to multiple employer welfare arrangements, small employer health plans, and large employer health benefit plans. The bill requires employers or insurers to receive notice of the birth and any required additional premium by the new 60-day deadline to maintain coverage. This change affects newborns and their parents covered under these employer plans, ensuring coverage continues without interruption if the deadline is met. The law takes effect September 1, 2025, but only applies to health benefit plans delivered, issued, or renewed on or after January 1, 2026.
