Bill > H2203

This bill amends existing Massachusetts General Laws, specifically chapters 32A and 32B, which govern health insurance for public employees and retirees. The key provision is the removal of language that terminates health insurance coverage for a surviving spouse upon their remarriage. This change aims to allow surviving spouses to retain their health insurance even if they remarry, a benefit that was previously lost. The bill clarifies that this change applies to surviving spouses who remarried before the bill's effective date and whose insurance was terminated as a result, but it explicitly states that the changes are prospective, meaning they will not provide any retroactive insurance coverage or benefits.
