AI Summary

  • Enacts R.S. 22:470 to establish that Louisiana Insurance Code provisions apply to employee benefit plans only to the extent not preempted by the federal Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA)

  • Adds severability language allowing the Insurance Commissioner to determine when a provision is reasonably likely to be preempted by ERISA, preserving the validity of remaining code provisions

  • Removes repetitive ERISA preemption exclusion language from multiple "health insurance issuer" definitions throughout the Insurance Code (R.S. 22:1044, 1060.1, 1061, 1221, 1831, and 1852)

  • Consolidates ERISA preemption references into a single new section rather than scattered throughout individual definitions

  • Effective upon signature by the governor or lapse of time for gubernatorial action
