Bill Summary

Under current law, the State Health Benefits Program provides to State employees covered by collective negotiations agreements the health care and prescription drug plans required by the terms of those collective negotiations. Those agreements may also specify the annual contributions that the State employees must make toward the cost of the plans if they enroll for coverage in those plans. This bill permits State employees who are not covered by collective negotiations agreements to enroll in certain plans and to make the same contributions negotiated by the Communication Workers of America.

AI Summary

This bill permits State employees not covered by collective negotiations agreements to enroll in certain negotiated health care plans, such as the Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plan CWA Unity DIRECT or CWA Unity DIRECT2019, and pay the same annual contributions to the cost of health care benefits coverage as State employees represented by the Communications Workers of America who select coverage under those plans. The bill also provides that the payment obligations of State employees for whom there is no majority representative for collective negotiations purposes shall be determined in a manner consistent with the terms set forth for those PPO plans, beginning January 1, 2025.
