LD 999 Maine House · 132nd Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act To Include Employees Of The Maine Indian Tribal-State Commission In The State'S Group Health Plan

This bill adds employees of the Maine Indian Tribal-State Commission to the State's existing group health plan. It directly affects these commission employees by granting them eligibility for the same health coverage available to other state employees. The key mechanism is an amendment to state law (5 MRSA §285) that explicitly includes these workers in the group health plan. This change provides them with access to the state's standard health benefits without creating new programs or altering existing coverage structures.
