Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

1 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

Public risk pool rate data private

Beginning July 27, 2025, public risk pools can keep certain records from public disclosure. Formulas and data used to set member contribution or assessment rates, and actuarial analyses and reports prepared by or for a public risk pool, are exempt from the Public Records Act. This protects proprietary rate-setting models but reduces public access to those materials.
