Expands the definition of "small employer" health insurance to include employers with 51-100 eligible employees (termed "larger small employers"), while maintaining the existing 2-50 employee definition for standard small employers.

Restricts the small employer definition from being changed to include employers with more than 50 current employees except through future state legislation.

Applies premium rate increase limits to larger small employers under section 62L.08, subdivision 2a, with an adjustment cap of 20 percent (compared to 15 percent for standard small employers).

Makes the definition change effective the day following final enactment and applies the premium rate increase provisions to coverage offered, issued, or renewed on or after January 1, 2013.
