Bill overview
The Parent Act, also known as SB 257, amends California law to ensure that pregnant individuals are automatically eligible to enroll in or change their health benefit plans without needing to meet specific qualifying events. This means that pregnancy is now considered a triggering event for health coverage enrollment, aligning with federal guidelines. The bill also updates requirements for health insurers and service plans to offer and market health benefit plans to all eligible individuals and dependents. Importantly, the bill includes provisions to avoid state reimbursement requirements for this change.
