HB1236 clarifies which types of health insurance plans are exempt from certain state insurance regulations by specifically excluding plans that must follow federal health care law (like those under the Affordable Care Act) and other limited benefit plans from South Dakota's requirements in sections 58-17-154 to 58-17-162. The bill takes effect January 1, 2020, and essentially removes these federally-regulated and limited plans from the scope of state insurance rules that previously may have applied to them.
