The Legislature finds that the provisions of this article do not address continuing coverage under a health benefit plan. Therefore, the commissioner is to perform or have performed a study to determine the feasibility and advisability of implementing continuation of coverage under health benefit plans issued to small employers with fewer than twenty employees. The commissioner shall make a report of findings, conclusions and recommendations to the Legislature during its regular session in the year one thousand nine hundred ninety-eight.
