California Insurance Equality Act

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The California Insurance Equality Act (AB 2208) is a state law that requires California insurance providers and managed care plans (HMOs) to provide coverage for registered domestic partners that is equal to spousal coverage. The law complements California Domestic Partnership Rights and Responsibilities Act of 2003 (AB 205), which grants registered domestic partners most of the same rights and responsibilities under California law as belong to married couples.
