Bill Summary
Line of Duty Act; transitional coverage. Requires the Department of Human Resource Management to acquire and provide temporary transitional health insurance coverage to disabled persons, eligible spouses, and eligible dependents during the period of transition into the LODA (Line of Duty Act) Health Benefits Plans. Current law authorizes but does not require the Department to acquire and provide such temporary transitional health insurance coverage to disabled persons, eligible spouses, and eligible dependents during such period.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Line of Duty Act (LODA) to mandate that the Department of Human Resource Management must provide temporary transitional health insurance coverage to individuals who are disabled, or their eligible spouses and dependents, during the period they are transitioning into the LODA Health Benefits Plans. Previously, the Department was only authorized, but not required, to offer this temporary coverage, which is intended to bridge the gap in health insurance for these individuals. The LODA Health Benefits Plans are separate health insurance plans administered by the Department of Human Resource Management, modeled after state employee health benefits, to cover individuals who are disabled or whose dependents or spouses are disabled or deceased in the line of duty.
