SB 929 - Under this act, current law requiring certain health benefit plans to provide coverage for contraceptives lasting up to 90 days, or 180 days for generic self-administered hormonal contraceptives, shall no longer be in effect after December 31, 2026. Instead, certain health benefit plans issued or renewed on or after January 1, 2027, shall be required to cover a supply of self-administered hormonal contraceptives, including brand-name and generic contraceptives, intended to last up to one year.

This act is similar to a provision in SCS/SB 178 (2025), HCS/SS/SB 7 (2025), HCS/SB 94 (2025), the perfected HCS/HB 2413 (2024), SB 821 (2024), and SB 1321 (2024).
