RENEWAL OF HEALTH BENEFIT PLANS; SPECIAL EXCEPTION (§ 38.2-3454.1)

Notwithstanding any other provision of state law, a health carrier may renew any
health benefit plan that would otherwise be required to be canceled,
discontinued, or terminated, because the health benefit plan does not meet the
requirements of Title I of the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care
Act (H.R. 3590), as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act
of 2010 (P.L. 111-152)(the PPACA) or regulations promulgated thereunder, to the
extent and under the terms that the appropriate federal authority has suspended
enforcement of provisions of Title I of the PPACA or regulations promulgated
thereunder. This section applies to health benefit plans sold or offered for
sale in the individual and group markets.
