Bill Summary

Relative to providing prescription drug cost reimbursements to certain retirees. Public Service.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to provide prescription drug cost reimbursements to certain retired government employees, specifically those aged 70 or older who have been retired for at least 5 years. The bill would amend the state's Group Insurance Commission law to create a new section allowing these "elderly governmental retirees" to receive at least a 25% reduction in their prescription drug co-payment costs, with the reimbursement coming from the State Retirees Benefits Trust Fund. The bill also requires municipalities providing prescription drug coverage to these retirees to participate in the reimbursement program.
