Requires premium rates to be developed based on only whether the health benefit plan covers an individual or family, the geographic rating area, age of the insured individuals, and tobacco use of the insured individuals, with specified limitations. Prohibits adjusting the premium more frequently than annually unless the change is made to reflect one of five specified categories of changes.
