Bill Summary
Relative to health insurance for surviving spouses. Public Service.
AI Summary
This bill amends the existing law to provide that surviving spouses of deceased public employees or retirees will pay one-half of the cost of their health insurance premiums, with the governmental unit paying the other half. The bill also repeals a section of the law that previously allowed for the termination of insurance coverage for surviving spouses upon remarriage. The provisions will apply prospectively from the effective date of the act and will not entitle any surviving spouse to retroactive insurance coverage.
