Bill > ACR160

This Concurrent Resolution establishes a special committee composed of members from both the New Jersey Senate and General Assembly, to be known as the "New Jersey Public Employee Health Care Program Costs Investigation Committee." This committee, with 14 members appointed by the Senate President and Assembly Speaker, will investigate significant increases in health insurance premiums and periodic charges for state and school employees, examining the reasons behind these hikes, the specifics of contracts with providers like Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield, and any potential influence or pressure from the Governor's Office that may have affected cost-saving efforts or plan design changes. The committee is empowered with broad investigative authority, including the ability to issue subpoenas and hold hearings, and is tasked with producing a report with legislative and policy recommendations to address these healthcare cost issues.
