STATEMENT TO
SENATE COMMITTEE SUBSTITUTE FOR
SENATE, No. 3756
with Senate Floor Amendments
(Proposed by Senator SCUTARI)
ADOPTED: JUNE 26, 2023
The bill currently provides that, if less than two qualified vendors submit responsive proposals within a competitive range, the State Health Benefits Commission or the School Employees’ Health Benefits Commission must either: (1) select the one qualified vendor; or (2) reissue the solicitation for the plan type.
These floor amendments clarify that when reissuing the solicitation, the commission must reissue the solicitation for the plan type in its entirety in an effort to secure at least two third-party administrators.
These floor amendments make this bill identical to Assembly Bill No. 5363 ACS.
