Bill > H2785

This bill modifies the existing rules governing health insurance premiums for state employees by requiring the Commonwealth to pay 90 percent of the monthly premium rate for the Group Health and Medical Insurance plan. The legislation represents a change in how health insurance costs are shared between the state government and its employees, with the government now covering a significant majority of the monthly premium. By specifying that this provision applies notwithstanding any contrary existing statutes, rules, or regulations, the bill ensures that this 90 percent employer contribution will take precedence over any previously established guidelines. The bill aims to potentially reduce the financial burden on state employees by increasing the proportion of health insurance premiums paid by the Commonwealth.
