    On page 78, after line 25, insert the following:

    "NEW SECTION. Sec. 51.  If, eighteen months from the effective date of this section, the insurance commissioner determines that no health benefit plan, as defined in RCW 48.43.005, is available for sale to new individual enrollees in sixteen counties or more in this state, this act expires."

    Renumber the remaining section consecutively, correct any internal references accordingly, and correct the title.

EFFECT:  Repeals the bill in eighteen months if the carriers do not come back to a majority of the counties in which they are not now currently selling individual plans.
