OFA Fiscal Note
Eliminates Fiscal Impact in Bill
The amendment removes provisions explicitly authorizing the
attorney general to enforce the bill’s contract restrictions, including by
seeking injunctive or other relief. This removes the potential General
Fund revenue gain from fines associated with the underlying bill.
Additionally, the amendment: (1) delays from January 1, 2024, to
January 1, 2025, the date on which contracts between health care
providers, health carriers and health plan administrators are prohibited
from including certain clauses, and (2) adds new requirements that
increase transparency between health carriers and participating
providers on the standards used for selecting and tiering providers
(including a participating provider’s calculated score). These provisions
are not anticipated to have a direct fiscal impact on the state or
municipalities.
