Bill Summary
Employee health plans for county elected officials. Requires a county to offer a program of group insurance to each county elected official if the county offers the program of group insurance to county employees and at least one county elected official.
AI Summary
This bill requires a county government to offer its group health insurance program to all county elected officials if it already offers the program to county employees and at least one county elected official is already covered. This means that if a county provides health insurance to its regular employees and has already extended it to one elected official, it must now extend that same group insurance coverage to all of its elected officials. The bill amends Indiana Code (IC) 5-10-8, which governs public employer group insurance, by adding a new section, IC 5-10-8-2.8, to specifically address this requirement for counties and their elected officials, with the changes taking effect on July 1, 2026.
