HB 1129: Health benefit subsidies

Subsidizing health benefit premiums.

Summary

  • Finds that the current practice of providing health care premium subsidies for retired or disabled school and state employees does not provide the fairness or certainty necessary for family financial planning. In addition, the current system makes it difficult for the legislature to obtain the accurate and timely information necessary for appropriating funds.
