An Act To Amend Title 18 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Insurance. [SB-231]
This is a housekeeping bill. Sections 1 and 2 present identical language to that of the first two sections of HB 15 that was passed in June 2015 affecting captive insurance. The title to HB 15 was limited to captive insurance, but the effect of the changes to Sections 309 and 330 would not be limited to captive insurance. There was a question as to whether the amendments to these two provisions were beyond the scope of the title, so the same changes are being made under a broader title heading in this new bill. Section 3 authorizes the Insurance (continued...)

This Act establishes a Delaware Health Care Claims Database to be administered and operated within the existing framework of the Delaware Health Information Network.
