Bill > LD91

This bill amends the Maine Revised Statutes to expand eligibility for the state employee health insurance program by adding employees of the Maine Association of Retirees (or its successor organization) to the list of groups that can participate in the program. Specifically, the bill modifies Title 5, Section 285, which governs state employee health insurance, by creating a new paragraph (Paragraph N) that explicitly allows employees of the Maine Association of Retirees to be eligible for state health insurance coverage. This change follows recent modifications to the statute that have expanded coverage to other specific groups, such as employees of approved academies and retired law enforcement officers and firefighters. The bill appears to provide a targeted expansion of health insurance access for a specific organizational group, potentially offering additional employment benefits to workers of the Maine Association of Retirees.
