                 STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
                       RS 10125 
     
     This legislation amends existing law to require that all managed care
     organizations must belong to a guarantee association by December 31, 2002. The
     National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) is currently developing
     model legislation to address this issue, which the NACI expects to release
     sometime in 2000. This legislation delays Idaho's implementation date by two
     years to allow time for the NAIC to develop its model legislation.
