What this bill would do
This bill, known as the "ENROLL Act of 2025," seeks to amend the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act regarding the navigator program. It introduces new requirements for how entities are selected for grants and expands the duties of navigators. Navigators would be tasked with providing information on State Medicaid and State children's health insurance programs, as well as conducting public education activities in plain language. The bill also mandates that certain entities maintain a physical presence in the State of the Exchange to provide in-person assistance. Finally, it establishes specific funding obligations for Federal exchanges.
