This bill would allow health insurance companies based outside of Kentucky to sell individual or group health insurance plans in the state without having to follow Kentucky's insurance rules or pay certain state and local taxes and fees, as long as specific conditions are met. This could change how some health insurance policies sold in Kentucky are regulated and priced. Who it may affect: Kentuckians who purchase individual or group health insurance plans, as well as insurance companies operating in the state.
