Bill > SB0200

This bill amends the State Employees Group Insurance Act of 1971 to provide community college benefit recipients (retired community college employees) with the option to decline dental coverage for themselves and their dependent beneficiaries. Specifically, the bill modifies an existing section of the law that establishes a health benefits program for community college retirees, which currently provides health, dental, and vision benefits. The new provision gives these retirees more flexibility in choosing their insurance coverage by allowing them to opt out of dental insurance if they prefer. This change is part of a broader program administered by the Department of Central Management Services that provides health benefits to community college retirees, with up to 75% of the insurance rate paid from the Community College Health Insurance Security Fund. The bill aims to give retirees more control over their insurance options while maintaining the overall structure of the existing health benefits program.
