AI Summary

This bill aims to further regulate group insurance benefits for current and retired state employees in Massachusetts. It proposes to maintain the existing $10,000 coverage for group life insurance and group accidental death and dismemberment insurance for state employees, while allowing them to elect optional coverage in excess of that amount. The bill also ensures that upon retirement, the $10,000 group life insurance, $10,000 group accidental death and dismemberment insurance, and group health insurance coverage (including hospital, surgical, medical, and dental) will continue to be provided, as long as the retiree applies for it through the state commission.
