Bill > PR26-0362

This resolution is an emergency approval for a five-year health benefits contract with Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of the Mid-Atlantic States, Inc. to provide health insurance coverage for District of Columbia employees, their dependents, and retirees. The total contract value is estimated at $806,032,713.45, and it will be administered through the D.C. Employees Health Benefits Program. The resolution declares an emergency circumstance necessitating immediate adoption without multiple readings, citing the critical need for the District to receive these vital health services in a timely manner. The emergency declaration is based on the determination that these health benefits can only be obtained through a multi-year contract with Kaiser, and that prompt approval is essential to ensure continuous health coverage for District employees and retirees. The resolution will take effect immediately upon passage, allowing the contract to proceed without delay.
