AI Summary

This bill requires the State to pay a share of a retired state employee's or retired teacher's Medicare Part B premium under a Medicare Advantage plan offered by the State, if the retired state employee or retired teacher meets certain conditions. The amount the State pays will depend on the retiree's base annual state pension benefit, with the State paying a higher percentage for retirees with lower pension benefits and a lower percentage for retirees with higher pension benefits. The bill applies to retirees whose base annual state pension is less than $75,000, adjusted for inflation, and who are not eligible for federally approved Medicaid services.
