S 1611 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to local public housing authorities access to the dental and vision insurance plan managed by the group insurance commission

This bill allows local public housing authorities in Massachusetts to offer dental and vision insurance to their employees. It achieves this by permitting the Group Insurance Commission to provide these specific benefits to housing authority staff, provided the authority's governing body votes in favor of the plan. The legislation overrides existing rules in Chapter 32A of the General Laws to create this new pathway for employee benefits.
