Senate Bill 1852 amends the Insurance Code to require the commissioner of insurance to prescribe a specified disclosure form to be provided with a short‑term limited‑duration insurance policy and application and to require an insurer issuing such a policy to adopt procedures to obtain a signed form from the insured acknowledging receipt of the disclosure form. The bill removes the requirement for a policyholder or contract holder under a consumer choice plan, on renewal of coverage, to sign and return the written disclosure statement concerning the plan's coverage that is provided by the health carrier or health maintenance organization, as applicable.
