Sec. 5. (a) It is a violation of IC 27-4-1-4 if an insurer, or an insurance producer or insurance broker compensated by the insurer, knowingly or intentionally refers an insured or the dependent of an insured to the program for health insurance coverage when the insured already receives health insurance coverage through an employer's health care plan that is underwritten by the insurer.
(b) The office shall coordinate with the children's health policy board under IC 4-23-27 to evaluate the need for mechanisms that minimize the incentive for an employer to eliminate or reduce health care coverage for an employee's dependents.
