  • Establishes a 5-year phase-in period beginning January 1, 2011, requiring approximately 20 percent annual reductions in the gap between current rates and actuarially sound rates.

  • Removes Office of Insurance Regulation authority over the corporation's rates and prohibits challenges to the corporation's rates (though policyholders may challenge their individual premiums).
