On May 24, 2023, Gov. Walz signed an omnibus bill that includes provisions requiring health insurers regulated by the state to provide preventive services (as specified in the federal ACA) at no cost. The intent of this law is to preserve the preventive services provisions of the ACA in light of current litigation seeking to remove those provisions from federal law.
Employers with plans regulated by the state should be aware of this new law.
