Bill > S755

This bill aims to improve health insurance enrollment for municipal employees by ensuring prompt coverage upon starting a new job. Specifically, the bill modifies existing law to state that if an eligible municipal employee signs up for health insurance through the state's group insurance commission within the first 10 days of employment, their coverage will begin either on their first day of work or on the date they actually subscribe to the coverage, whichever is later. The bill requires the group insurance commission to create implementing regulations within three months of the bill's enactment. This change is designed to provide municipal employees with more immediate access to health insurance benefits, reducing potential gaps in coverage when starting a new job in local government.
