Title

Sales and use tax, vitamins, minerals, supplements sold or prescribed by physicians and other health care providers, exemption clarified, Sec. 40-9-27 am'd

Description

Currently, the new federal health care reform law requires individual states to operate and maintain "health insurance exchanges." Health insurance plans offering abortion coverage are allowed to participate in a state's exchange and to receive federal subsidies unless the Legislature affirmatively opts out of offering these plans.

This bill would specifically provide that the State of Alabama affirmatively opts out of allowing abortion coverage by exchange participating health plans.
