Oklahoma can run and fund health marketplaces

Oklahoma's Insurance Commissioner can set up or run a state, federal, or partnership health insurance marketplace and issue rules. The Commissioner can apply for a federal waiver under Section 1332 of the Affordable Care Act. A new State-based Exchange Revolving Fund holds all state marketplace receipts, including user fees, for setup and operations. The Insurance Department can spend this money without a fiscal-year limit; the law sets no dollar amount. Money cannot move to other state funds, and funding-source terms govern exceptions to rules against expiration or redistribution. Payments require authorized department claims filed with the state management office and warrants drawn by the State Treasurer. The law itself does not change household coverage eligibility or costs. It lists July 1, 2025, as its effective date, while its emergency clause provides immediate effect upon passage and approval.
