Bill Summary
For legislation relative to health care insurance for surviving spouses. Public Service.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing laws to provide health insurance coverage for surviving spouses of deceased public employees or retirees. Specifically, it requires the governmental unit to pay one-half the cost of the health insurance premiums for these surviving spouses, rather than requiring them to pay the full cost. The bill also repeals a section of law that previously terminated the coverage upon the surviving spouse's remarriage, and applies these changes prospectively as well as retroactively to spouses who had their coverage terminated due to remarriage prior to the effective date of the act.
