What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires the Group Insurance Board (GIB), beginning on January 1,

2018, to permit public employers other than the state to participate in ancillary

insurance coverage plans, such as dental or vision plans, that are offered by GIB to

state employees. Under the bill, GIB must require the employers who participate in

the plans to establish payroll deduction programs through which their employees

must pay premiums for the ancillary coverage plans.
