Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact


                       STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

                             RS 15465


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.
