AI Summary

This bill aims to expand health insurance coverage for public higher education faculty members in Massachusetts. It amends the state's laws to require the Commonwealth, rather than the public institutions, to cover a gradually increasing percentage of the health insurance premium costs for eligible faculty members who teach at least two 3-credit courses per semester or four 3-credit courses per year, regardless of their employment status or participation in a retirement system. The bill outlines a 5-year phased implementation plan, where the Commonwealth's share of the premium costs will increase from 25% in the first year to 75% in the sixth year and beyond.
