--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sec. 7. 10 App. V.S.A. § 16a is added to read:

§ 16a. ENFORCEMENT OF INDIVIDUAL INSURANCE MANDATE

(a) For the purposes of this section, the term “license” shall include any and all licenses and permits issued by the department of fish and wildlife.

(b) No license shall be issued without the proof of health insurance pursuant to 8 V.S.A. § 4062e that indicates that the coverage has been certified by the commissioner of banking, insurance, securities, and health care administration to be at least equivalent to the basic benefit package required by 8 V.S.A. § 4080b or proof of coverage by Medicaid, the Vermont health access plan, or Medicare.

The danger here is that the bill is in the committee on health care and not fish wildlide and water resources.
