AI Summary

  • Repeals Chapter 435H of the Hawaii Revised Statutes, which established the Hawaii Health Connector (a state health insurance exchange created to implement the Affordable Care Act).

  • Transitions Hawaii residents to a federally supported, state-based exchange similar to those in Oregon, Nevada, and New Mexico following the Connector's closure in December 2015.

  • Specifies that all debts and liabilities incurred by the Hawaii Health Connector remain the responsibility of the Connector and do not become debts or liabilities of the State.

  • Updates Section 432F-2 to reference the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act marketplace instead of the repealed Connector when determining network adequacy for qualified health plans.

  • Preserves all consumer protections contained in the Hawaii Prepaid Health Care Act (Chapter 393) and ensures this repeal does not alter its provisions.
