Senate Resolution No. 60 Summary

• Urges Governor Nixon, the Missouri Department of Insurance, Financial Institutions and Professional Registration, and the Missouri Health Insurance Pool board to return the approximately $21 million Level One Exchange Establishment Grant to the federal government

• Asserts that the Missouri Health Insurance Pool lacks statutory authority to accept federal grants or establish a health insurance exchange without General Assembly legislation

• Contends that establishing a state-based health insurance exchange is a policy decision reserved for the General Assembly under Missouri's constitutional separation of powers, not an executive branch function

• Directs the Senate Secretary to send a copy of the resolution to the Governor, the insurance department director, and the Missouri Health Insurance Pool board members
