What it does
The IDA Act of 20262026 would amend the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 to exempt certain state laws related to dental benefits from federal preemption, allowing states to regulate dental benefit administration without being overridden by federal ERISA rules, provided the state laws do not conflict with ERISA titles I and IV. This change would affect state governments, dental benefit administrators, and employers offering dental plans, potentially enabling greater state-level oversight of dental benefits. The exemption would take effect 18 months after enactment.
