HB 1721: Health/welfare benefit trust

Authorizing jointly administered health and welfare benefits trusts for local government employees.

Summary

  • Local government self-insurance programs established as trusts for employee health and welfare benefits may share controlling authority with employees if the local government maintains at least half the voting interests, if no more than one non-employee union representative has a voting right, and if the trust agreement contains provisions for breaking any voting deadlocks.
