What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill requires the Group Insurance Board to design a separate health care coverage plan for certain state officials who receive health care coverage under plans administered by GIB. These officials are the governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, state treasurer, attorney general, state senators, state representatives to the assembly, and a person who is appointed by the governor to a position in the executive branch who is the head of a state agency and whose appointment requires confirmation by the senate. The bill specifies that the benefits and coverage offered under the new plan may not exceed the minimum benefits or least amount of coverage of a plan that would be allowable under the federal American Health Care Act of 2017, the 115th Congress (H.R. 1628). Under the bill, state officials who are covered under GIB plans must be covered under this new health care coverage plan.
