It would set civil fines and criminal penalties for insurance agents and brokers who submit incorrect or false enrollment information. It would require the federal government to verify agent-submitted enrollments, regulate marketing organizations, audit agents and brokers, and check quarterly for deceased enrollees. It would also require Exchanges to tell people the amount of their tax credit before enrolling them and would extend the 2026 open enrollment period to May 15, 2026.
