Bill Summary
For legislation to expand health insurance access for state employees. Financial Services.
AI Summary
This bill aims to expand health insurance access for state employees in Massachusetts. It proposes to amend the state's General Laws to allow the Group Insurance Commission, which oversees health insurance benefits for state employees, to offer health insurance coverage to new state employees starting on their employment start date, rather than requiring them to wait before receiving benefits. The bill also directs the Group Insurance Commission, in consultation with the Comptroller and the Executive Office for Administration and Finance, to promulgate regulations to enforce this change.
