AI Summary
This bill expands the membership of two state commissions that oversee health benefits for public employees. For the State Health Benefits Commission, which manages health plans for state employees, four new members will be added: a mayor or township business administrator, a county official (commissioner, executive, or finance officer), and two local employee representatives chosen by the AFL-CIO's Public Employee Committee. For the School Employees' Health Benefits Commission, which handles health plans for school employees, four new members will be added, all appointed by the Governor from nominations provided by specific educational organizations, including the New Jersey Education Association, the education section of the New Jersey State AFL-CIO, the New Jersey Association of School Business Officials, and the New Jersey Council of County Colleges. These changes aim to broaden representation on these important bodies that make decisions about health coverage for a significant portion of New Jersey's public workforce.
