Bill Summary

Relative to access to health insurance for human service providers and their employees. Public Service.

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 a contract or with vouchers from various state agencies. 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 the full premium for the employee's health insurance and that time spent working for these private providers does not count towards creditable state service for pension or retiree health insurance purposes.
