Bill Summary
For legislation relative to access to health insurance for human service providers and their employees. Financial Services.
AI Summary
This bill aims to provide access to health insurance for employees of private human service providers and private center-based early education providers who deliver services under contracts or vouchers with state agencies, such as the Executive Office of Health and Human Services, the Executive Office of Elder Affairs, the Department of Housing and Community Development, and the Department of Early Education and Care. The bill directs the Group Insurance Commission to develop a process for these employees to purchase health insurance through the Commission, either through the Commission's current contracted products or a specific product. The bill also specifies that the employer must pay 100% of the premium, and that time spent working for these private providers does not count towards creditable state service for state retirement or other post-employment benefits.
