AN ACT CONCERNING A STATE SUBSIDY FOR RETIRED TEACHERS' HEALTH INSURANCE BENEFITS.

HB 5834 restores a one-third state subsidy for retired teachers enrolled in the Teachers' Retirement Board's Medicare supplement health insurance plan. It requires the state to cover 33.3% of the cost for these retired educators' supplemental health insurance premiums. This directly affects retired teachers who rely on this specific plan through the Teachers' Retirement Board. The bill aims to reverse a prior reduction in state funding for this benefit.
