SD 1802 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act expanding health insurance access for state employees

This bill allows new state employees in Massachusetts to receive health insurance coverage starting on their first day of work, rather than waiting for a standard waiting period. It applies to all state employers who offer health benefits through the state's group insurance commission. To make this change official, the commission must work with finance officials to create and enforce new rules that put this immediate coverage into practice.
