Legal Authority and Governance Sample Clauses

Legal Authority and Governance. Arkansas’s 2011 legislative session convened in January, shortly after the Exchange Planning Grant was awarded and prior to implementation of the various stakeholder inclusion activities described below. AID supported passage of HB 2138 to establish an Arkansas Health Benefits Exchange. Insurance carriers, producers, consumer advocacy organizations including Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families and AARP-Arkansas, ACHI, Arkansas Hospital Association, and Arkansas Foundation for Medical Care supported the bill. However, the opposition to ACA by a vocal minority of Republican legislators, and partisan politics of the 2011 session, prevented the bill’s passage. It was assigned to the House Committee on Insurance and Commerce for interim study. Following the legislative session, planning activities to xxxxxx support for an Arkansas Exchange continued. Legislators were appointed to the Steering Committee. Others attended Workgroup Sessions and Community meetings. Timing for State Exchange Authority was complicated by the fact that the General Assembly does not meet again in regular session until 2013. Non-budget items are rarely heard during a fiscal session of the legislature and require a supermajority vote for inclusion.

Without enabling legislation, an official governance structure had not been designated for Exchange planning. Stakeholder feedback regarding possible governance options was obtained through various methods with findings consistent with HB 2138 that recommended a quasi-governmental model connecting a non-profit board with the AID. As part of our planning process, we gathered the following information regarding the best governance structure:  Targeted Survey - Our contractor, First Data, conducted an email survey of the Exchange Planning Workgroups/Steering Committee and 35 members completed the survey. The results reflected the preference for a public trust (quasi-governmental) model with AID as the State oversight agency (78.8%). This finding was affirmed by the Steering Committee and the six Exchange Planning workgroups in follow- up meetings.  Survey of the general public – Our contractor, UAMS, posted a survey on the Exchange...
