Fiscal Detail and Notes
	The resolve requires the Bureau of Insurance to review and analyze existing mandated health insurance benefits. The fiscal note assumes reviews will need to be completed by an external contractor on an expedited basis for a January 15, 2004 report.  Existing mandates will be categorized into 12 mandate topics and analyzed at a cost of $15,000 per report, the maximum cost per report paid to the current vendor that completes proposed mandate benefit bill reviews.  Costs would be one-time.
