HRS §432C-5

Choosing nonprofits to receive assets before a conversion

Before a nonprofit health plan converts, the insurance commissioner must decide which other nonprofits can receive its assets. Those nonprofits must serve Hawaii residents' health needs, not compete with the converting plan, and already have tax-exempt status. This section only sets those eligibility rules.
