AI Summary

This bill amends the law to require that school districts, charter schools, and participating entities in the Public School Insurance Authority (PSIA) contribute at least 80% of the cost of group insurance for all their employees, up from the previous tiered system based on employee salary. The bill also allows these entities to pay up to 100% of the first $50,000 of term life insurance for their employees. To fund the increased employer contributions, the bill appropriates $70.25 million from the general fund to the Public Education Department for distribution to school districts, charter schools, and PSIA participants in fiscal year 2024.
