This act shall be known and may be cited as the "Oklahoma Individual Health Insurance Market Stabilization Act". It is the intent of the Legislature to provide payments to health insurance plans with respect to claims for eligible individuals for the purpose of lowering premiums for health insurance coverage offered in the individual market. Market stabilization activities shall include establishment of a high-risk pool, reinsurance, hybrid programs or any combination thereof. It is the further intent of the Legislature to bestow upon the Oklahoma Insurance Commissioner the authority to appoint a Board of Directors which shall create, implement, oversee and monitor the high-risk pool, reinsurance or hybrid programs under provisions of this act. The Board of Directors and the Oklahoma Secretary of Health and Human Services are authorized to apply for, accept and receive federal funds to implement and sustain market stabilization programs. Preliminary planning and analysis shall continue under the direction of the Oklahoma Insurance Commissioner. The onset of market stabilization implementation shall be contingent upon Oklahoma's approval for and receipt of federal funds to implement and sustain market stabilization programs.
