Senate Bill 1255 amends the Insurance Code to permit the membership of a health group cooperative to include both small and large employers within a single industry grouping as defined by the most recent edition of the United States Census Bureau's North American Industry Classification System. The bill allows, rather than requires, certain cooperatives composed only of small employers to be treated in the same manner as a large employer under provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Availability Act and extends that authorization to a cooperative composed of both small and large employers.
