    On page 3, line 18, after "sharing" insert ", unless the health plan is offered as a qualifying health plan for a health savings account.  For such a qualifying health plan, the carrier must establish the plan's cost sharing for the coverage required by subsection (1) of this section at the minimum level necessary to preserve the enrollee's ability to claim tax exempt contributions and withdrawals from his or her health savings account under internal revenue service laws and regulations"

EFFECT:  Eliminates the prohibition against cost sharing for a qualifying health plan for a health savings account.  Requires, for such a plan, the carrier to establish the cost sharing at the minimum level necessary to preserve the enrollee's ability to claim tax exempt contributions and withdrawals from his or her health savings account under internal revenue service laws and regulations.
