SB5808 requires nonprofit health carriers to submit surplus reports to the commissioner by July 1, 2026, and annually thereafter. The commissioner must determine if the surplus is excessive and, if so, the carrier must pay three percent of the excessive surplus into the state health care affordability account by October 1, 2026, and annually thereafter.
