Bill > H2268

This bill aims to modify health insurance benefits for surviving spouses of public employees by removing provisions that terminate coverage upon remarriage. Specifically, it repeals Section 9D of Chapter 32B of the General Laws, and amends Section 11 of Chapter 32A and Section 9B of Chapter 32B to strike out language that ends coverage when a surviving spouse remarries. The bill clarifies that these changes will apply to surviving spouses who remarried before the bill's effective date and whose insurance was terminated as a result, but it explicitly states that these provisions are prospective and do not grant any retroactive insurance coverage.
