In Kentucky Association v. Miller, the Supreme Court threw out the 15-year test for determining whether a state law is a law regulating insurance. Instead, the Court articulated a new test: (1) is the state law specifically directed toward entities engaged in insurance, and (2) does the state law substantially affect the risk pooling arrangement between the insurer and the insured?

Topics Include:
  • How will the new requirements work?
     
  • Will state regulation of other types of managed care organizations survive?
  • What will the impact be on state laws?
     
  • Is a new "relates to" test the next step for the Court?
