BILL NUMBER:S7317 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the insurance law, in relation to funding for student health plans PURPOSE: This legislation makes technical amendments to a statute authorizing certain universities to self-insure for the purposes of providing health insurance to currently enrolled students. These amendments will reduce the amount of time a university has to deposit required funds in case of insolvency. It also provides that this fund be accounted for separate and apart from all other assets, liabilities, income and expenses. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: This bill makes technical amendments to chapter 246 of the laws of 2012 (S.7314- A/A.10577-A) to clarify the requirements of a university that establishes a self-insured student health plan. These amendments specify that funds to pay these claims shall be accounted for separately rather than be held in separate accounts. Additionally, a university will have five days to comply with the superintendent's order to deposit additional funds for this purpose instead of thirty days.
