| IN RE: | SB80 by Nelson (Relating to employer contributions under small employer health benefit plans.), As Introduced |
The bill would amend the Insurance Code to alter the employer contributions for small employer health benefit plans.
Based on the analysis of the Texas Department of Insurance, it is assumed that there would be a one-time revenue gain of $10,000 in the General Revenue Dedicated Account Fund 36 in fiscal year 2010 because the bill would result in 100 additional form filings by Small Employer Plans. Since General Revenue Dedicated Account Fund 36 is a self-leveling account, this analysis assumes all revenue generated would go toward fund balances or the maintenance tax would be set to recover a lower level of revenue the following year. It is also assumed that any costs realized by TDI from implementing the provisions of the bill could be absorbed within existing resources.
