Division of Insurance Health Access Bureau

Changes composition of Public Health Council to include members from public health schools, providers, and health advocates.

Creates a new Health Care Access Bureau within the Division of Insurance with responsibility for oversight of the small group and individual health insurance market and affordable health plans, funded by a $600,000 annual assessment on insurance carriers.
