COMMITTEE REPORT

March 6, 1991

H. 3301

Introduced by REPS. Boan and McElveen

S. Printed 3/6/91--H.

Read the first time January 24, 1991.

THE COMMITTEE ON

INVITATIONS AND MEMORIAL RESOLUTIONS

To whom was referred a Concurrent Resolution (H. 3301), memorializing Congress to correct the disparate treatment of insured and self-funded Health Care, etc., respectfully

REPORT:

That they have duly and carefully considered the same, and recommend that the same do pass:

SAMUEL R. FOSTER, for Committee.

A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

MEMORIALIZING CONGRESS TO CORRECT THE DISPARATE TREATMENT OF INSURED AND SELF-FUNDED HEALTH CARE BENEFITS BY PERMITTING STATE REGULATION OF SELF-FUNDED HEALTH CARE PLANS.

Whereas, the 1974 Federal Employee Retirement Income Security Act subjects "insured" health care plans to state regulation while exempting "self-funded" health care plans; and

Whereas, the preemption provision of this federal act prevents the General Assembly from enacting laws to protect participants of "self-funded" plans who may not be protected adequately under the limited federal standards; and

Whereas, the lack of state regulation places participants of "self-funded" health care plans at a greater risk than those enrolled in "insured" plans. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the members of the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina memorialize Congress to correct the disparate treatment of "insured" and "self-funded" health care benefits by permitting state regulation of "self-funded" health care plans.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the members of this state's congressional delegation.
