AN ACT RELATIVE TO GROUP MARKETING PLANS

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same as follows:
SECTION 1. Notwithstanding any general or special law to the contrary, a group marketing plan approved and in effect pursuant to section 193R of chapter 175 of the General Laws during calendar years 2015 to 2017 may be approved upon renewal notwithstanding that less than 35 per cent of its members are insured during calendar years 2015 to 2017, respectively.
SECTION 2. This act shall take effect on January 1, 2016.
Approved, December 29, 2015.
