Abstract
(SB0976 · 103rd Legislature) Insurance: health insurers; health insurance policy; include provision related to Michigan health insurance exchange act. Amends sec. 2212a of 1956 PA 218 (MCL 500.2212a). TIE BAR WITH: SB 0973’26 Latest action (2026-06-18): Referred To Committee On Insurance
Why this matters
SB0976 is part of a coordinated package (with SB0973–SB0975) building out Michigan’s move to a state-based health insurance exchange by conforming existing Insurance Code provisions to the new exchange act. While incremental on its own, it signals continued legislative momentum to shift administration of ACA-compliant individual and small-group coverage from the federal marketplace to a Michigan-run entity, which would affect insurers, enrollees, and subsidy pathways.
