This act shall apply to health benefit plans delivered, issued for delivery, continued, or renewed in this state on or after January 1, 2027. This act is identical to SB 902 (2026) and SB 1350 (2026) and similar to SB 158 (2025), HB 804 (2025), and provisions in HCS/SS/SB 7 (2025). TAYLOR MIDDLETON
