Provides that certified application counselors are subject to the same certification requirements as navigators. Provides that navigators or certified application counselors may not engage in any unfair method of competition or any fraudulent, deceptive, or dishonest act or practice related to the health insurance marketplace or to that individual's or entity's absence of a conflict of interest in connection with the enrollment of any individuals or employees in a particular private health benefit plan. Provides that a navigator or certified application counselor who fails to timely file for certificate renewal shall be charged a late fee in an amount prescribed by the Director of Insurance. Replaces provisions concerning criteria and requirements for entities or individuals applying for a navigator certificate with language allowing the Director of Insurance to establish certification terms and requirements for completed applications and exemptions from certification by rule for navigator or certified application counselor certificates. Revises the meaning of the terms "certified application counselor" and "navigator". Makes other changes. Effective immediately.</SynopsisText></synopsis>
