Common use of Legislative and Regulatory Action Clause in Contracts

Legislative and Regulatory Action. The Level I grant will support staff and consulting capacity within the Exchange to conduct timely review of federal regulations and guidance which may affect Exchange programs or operations. In addition, the grant will also expand the capacity of the Exchange to identify and analyze proposed state legislation and regulations. The Exchange will review legislative proposals and advise the state Legislature and the Administration on the impact of specific proposals on the Exchange and recommend legislative directions that will most effectively support Exchange operations and activities. CA-ACA both authorizes and requires the Exchange to respond to requests for information from the state Legislature and to provide testimony and comment on proposed legislation or policy issues. Dedicated legal and policy staff will also help the Exchange to identify and pursue state legislative and regulatory changes necessary for Exchange operations. Exchange staff and consultants will coordinate with the program integration working groups -- coordinating with state health and human services programs and with state insurance regulators -- to identify legislative or regulatory changes in programs outside of the Exchange that will enhance collaboration, coordination and integration among the Exchange and other programs as envisioned in federal law.
