BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:
NEW SECTION. Sec. 1 The legislature finds that health carriers
in Washington are currently subject to a variety of mandated benefits
under state law, some of which are required by federal law. The
legislature further finds that the mandated health care benefits
provided under federal law adequately protect consumers. Furthermore,
under the federal patient protection and affordable care act and the
health care and education reconciliation act of 2010, health carriers
will be required to offer essential health benefits. These new federal
requirements, along with existing state mandates that may possibly
conflict and overlap with the federal mandates, will make the
regulatory landscape for health carriers confusing and difficult to
implement. State mandated benefits that exceed the essential health
benefits may also result in increased costs for the state as it
implements federal health care reform. It is therefore the intent of
the legislature to repeal all state mandated benefits and replace them
with a requirement that health carriers comply with federal mandates.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 2 A new section is added to chapter 48.43 RCW
to read as follows:
All health plans offered in this state must include all benefits
required by federal law.
Sec. 3 RCW 48.43.005 and 2010 c 292 s 1 are each reenacted and
amended to read as follows:
Unless otherwise specifically provided, the definitions in this
section apply throughout this chapter.

70.47 RCW, as revised from time to time.

(a) In the case of a contract, agreement, or policy covering a
single enrollee, a health benefit plan requiring a calendar year

(other than for premiums) for covered benefits of at least three
thousand five hundred dollars, both amounts to be adjusted annually by
the insurance commissioner; and
(b) In the case of a contract, agreement, or policy covering more
than one enrollee, a health benefit plan requiring a calendar year
deductible of, at a minimum, three thousand five hundred dollars and an
annual out-of-pocket expense required to be paid under the plan (other
