Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact

                       STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
                                 
                             RS 12993
                                 
This legislation directs the Health Care Task Force to be the
legislative oversight committee that monitors the state High Risk
Reinsurance Pool. The original High Risk Pool legislation in 2000 called
for the appointment of an oversight committee. This bill assigns the
responsibility to the Health Care Task Force and eliminates the need to
create a separate committee.
