An Act relative to Group Health Insurance Commission
This bill (HD 676) requires the Commonwealth to cover 90% of the monthly premium for state employees' Group Health and Medical Insurance plan, shifting the cost burden from employees to the state. It directly affects all state employees enrolled in this health insurance plan by significantly reducing their out-of-pocket costs. The key provision is a mandatory state payment of 90% of the premium, replacing any existing employee contribution for this specific coverage. This is a direct policy change to state employee benefits, not a procedural measure.
