Bill > H0248

This bill adds a new section to existing law to allow school districts and public charter schools to use a portion of their salary-based apportionment to pay for their employees to be covered by the state employee health insurance plan. The key provisions include: 1) the premium schedule for school district and charter school employees may differ from the schedule for state employees, 2) all eligible employees must be moved to the state plan and not covered by another plan, and 3) the school district or charter school must remain in the state plan for at least two years. The bill also allows districts and charters that opt into the state plan to use the dollar amount identified for the applicable compensation rung on the career ladder as the minimum amount paid to instructional and pupil service staff, rather than the requirements in the existing law.
