The California Insurance Equality Act (AB 2208) is a state law that requires California insurance providers and managed care plans (HMOs) to provide coverage for registered domestic partners that is equal to spousal coverage. The law complements the California Domestic Partnership Rights and Responsibilities Act of 2003 (AB 205), which grants registered domestic partners most of the same rights and responsibilities under California law as they belong to married couples.
Impact
Previous California legislation required California insurance providers to provide benefits to domestic partners as dependents, but the California Insurance Equality Act now requires them to be covered as spouses. The act also prohibits employers from asking for more proof of partnership of domestic partners than they ask of spouses.
