This bill requires health care sharing ministries (faith-based nonprofits where members contribute to help pay each other's medical costs) to provide clearer information to participants, including monthly statements showing total needs submitted and amounts assigned for contribution, plus a written disclaimer on all application materials. The bill clarifies that these arrangements are not considered insurance under South Dakota law, but now imposes specific disclosure requirements to make sure participants understand how the system works.
