This bill sets rules to make sure that health insurance plans sold or renewed in Kentucky do not accidentally lose their eligibility for use with health savings accounts under federal law.

Who it may affect: Kentuckians who use or plan to use a health savings account alongside their insurance, and state government employees enrolled in state health coverage plans.
