What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
2013 Wisconsin Act 20 requires the secretary of employee trust funds and the director of the Office of State Employment Relations to study the feasibility of excluding from health care coverage the spouses and domestic partners of state employees who are eligible to receive health care coverage through their own employers and offering a $2,000 annual incentive payment to any state employee who elects not to receive health care coverage through the state employee health care coverage plan. This bill eliminates this study.
