Bill > H2207

This bill amends existing state law, specifically Section 2(e) of chapter 32A of the General Laws, to expand eligibility for state group health insurance, which is a type of contributory group insurance where employees and the state share the cost of premiums. The change allows faculty members at state higher education institutions, including those in divisions of continuing education and regardless of how they are funded or their employment term, to qualify for this insurance if they teach the equivalent of at least three three-credit courses per semester or four three-credit courses per calendar year, a slight increase from the previous requirement of two courses per semester or four courses per calendar year.
