CURRENT BILL SUMMARY
SB 824 - This act requires health benefit plans to provide coverage for genetic testing and genetic counseling, as defined in the act, of individuals who are at increased risk of potentially harmful mutations to their genes due to a personal or family history of cancer.
The act prohibits insurers from using these tests and counseling in underwriting decisions such as calculating premiums or determining coverage, and prohibits insurers from imposing cost-sharing with regard to the required coverage.
This act is identical to HB 1080 (2025), and similar to SB 406 (2025), SB 1047 (2024), and HB 2394 (2024).
