TO AMEND THE LAW CONCERNING THE STATE AND PUBLIC SCHOOL LIFE AND HEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAM; AND TO AMEND THE POWERS AND DUTIES OF THE DIRECTOR OF THE EMPLOYEE BENEFITS DIVISION.

SB 150 amends Arkansas law to allow the Director of the Employee Benefits Division to cooperate with the U.S. government on Medicare-related matters. This change directly affects state and public school employees covered under the state's life and health insurance program by enabling streamlined coordination with federal Medicare programs. The key provision adds new authority to the Director's duties, specifically permitting collaboration on federally funded benefit programs. The bill creates no new benefits or costs but adjusts administrative processes for existing insurance coverage.
