Bill > S1377

This bill expands eligibility for state group health insurance, which is a benefit offered to employees of the state, by amending a section of the General Laws concerning public higher educational institutions. Specifically, it allows faculty members who teach a certain minimum number of credit courses per semester or per calendar year at state colleges or universities to be eligible for this insurance, even if they are employed through different funding sources or have varying employment terms. The key change is the inclusion of faculty teaching at least two three or more-credit courses per semester or four three or more-credit courses per calendar year, broadening the scope of who can access these state-provided health benefits.
