On June 21, 2023, the U.S. House of Representatives passed by a party-line vote of 220-209, H.R. 3799, the CHOICE Arrangement Act. The bill includes the NAR-supported Association Health Plans Act, which would expand access to association health plans (AHPs) to more Americans, including the self-employed workers of the real estate industry. According to the Congressional Budget Office, upon implementation, these provisions could increase the number of people with health insurance purchased through association plans by an average of 200,000 per year.

NAR sent a letter of supportpdf for the AHP Act and will continue to advocate on behalf of members as this legislation now moves to the Senate for consideration.
