Bill > HF3571

This bill allows towns and watershed districts, which are local government entities responsible for managing water resources, to self-insure for certain employee health benefits, meaning they can manage their own health insurance funds instead of purchasing traditional insurance policies. This provision applies to these entities if they have more than 100 employees, and they must follow specific requirements, including having their self-insurance plans certified by the Department of Commerce and providing notice and consultation with employee representatives before making changes to these plans. The bill also clarifies the definition of "watershed management organization" for the purposes of this section and makes technical corrections to existing law.
