AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 149 of the General Laws to require employers that offer health care flexible spending accounts (FSAs) to provide personal notification to each employee, by certified mail, of any changes to their flexible spending account or the policies governing such flexible spending accounts, in addition to any electronic or other notification the employer may provide, prior to any such change taking effect.
