HF 2738: Establishing a state-based health insurance subsidy, and making an appropriation
Died when the session ended · The General Assembly adjourned on October 2, 2026. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.
What it does
This bill establishes a state-based health insurance subsidy to mitigate the impact of the reduction in federal health insurance subsidies. §36B(3)(A) (federal credit) expired on January 1, 2026. The federal credit was an expansion of the subsidies provided under the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, also known as the ACA. For the 2026 tax year only, the bill replaces the expired federal credit with a state subsidy of equal value as the federal credit calculated during the 2025 tax year.
