Bill > H7330

This bill expands eligibility for the state healthcare plan to include private employees working at nursing homes, developmental disability providers, and home care providers, provided that at least 90% of their salaries are funded by state or federal money. These employees, who are currently not covered by the state plan, will now have the option to "opt into" it, meaning they can choose to enroll. The bill clarifies that while employees will be responsible for paying their own insurance premiums, their employers will have the discretion to cover all or part of these costs. This change aims to provide healthcare access to a specific group of workers in essential care services and will become effective immediately upon its passage.
