GOVT-ST GROUP INSURANCE

Summary
Amends the State Employees Group Insurance Act of 1971. Requires that the program of life insurance benefits permit active employees and annuitants under age 60 to purchase supplemental life insurance coverage in amounts up to 8 (now, up to 4) times the basic life insurance benefits. Limits the maximum accidental death and dismemberment coverage to the lesser of the amount of basic life benefits plus optional life benefits not exceeding 5 times basic life benefits or $3,000,000 (now, basic plus optional life benefits). Changes the dependent life insurance coverage to $10,000 (now, $5,000), with a reduction to $5,000 for a spouse when the eligible annuitant turns 60. Effective immediately.
