Six states are considering a version of an ICHRA tax credit bill: Arizona, Georgia, Mississippi, Ohio, Connecticut and New Hampshire.
The National Council of Insurance Legislators, an organization of state legislators serving on insurance committees, is working to approve a model tax credit law based off of Ohio’s bill that other states can emulate. The model bill could be put up for a vote as early as April, said NCOIL CEO William Melofchik.
State interest in the model is “pretty strong,” Melofchik said, and it’s coming from “a rare red and blue state mix,” including Florida, New Jersey and Texas.
“Everyone, whether Republican or Democrat, is just looking for solutions to get as many folks covered as possible.”
