Transitional reinsurance program

Section 8. The commissioner may study the implementation of, establish, if warranted, and supervise a transitional reinsurance program pursuant to section 1341 of the federal Affordable Care Act or, if the commissioner believes that such program is not appropriate for the commonwealth, to apply for any appropriate waiver from the requirement to implement such program. The commissioner may promulgate regulations to enforce this section; provided, however, that before a waiver is sought or a transitional reinsurance program is to be implemented, the commissioner shall provide a report on the decision and the details of any proposed program to the clerks of the senate and house of representatives and the senate and house committee on ways and means.
