Cost shift

Plain‑English summary, cross‑checked against the official bill text.

If passed, health insurers would have to give the state information about their malpractice coverage for newborn care when the department asks.

Our take

What we think, in plain words.

Citizens should watch this bill because it could help the state see where insurance gaps exist for babies, but it also adds reporting work for insurers that could raise their costs.
