Protecting Against Local Government Overreach by Prohibiting Localities from Banning Cigar Bars.
Against DEMs

Increasing Health Insurance Premiums by Expanding the Coverage Mandate for Colorectal Cancer Screening.
Against DEMs
This bill expands the state''s health insurance mandate requiring coverage of colorectal cancer screening. Under the bill, insurance policies may not require prior authorization. Previously, existing law prohibited any deductible or cost-sharing requirement. Additionally, policies are now required to cover prescribed bowel preparation. Each and every health insurance mandate prevents an individual from selecting a plan with just basic or customized coverages to fit their specific needs. As a result, health insurers are forced to only offer costly plans loaded with coverages that most individuals do not need.

This motion overrides the Governor''s veto of a bill that prohibits Medicaid from paying for sex-reassignment procedures or hormones, and nullifies the Governor''s 2014 executive order related to "conversion therapy" for minors.
