Public employees insurance program participation by certain school employers requirement

This bill requires school districts, charter schools, and other defined education employers (like service cooperatives and intermediate districts) to join Minnesota's public employees insurance program. It establishes a mandatory health insurance pool for all school employees, replacing their previous option to offer separate coverage. School employers must participate in this program, which provides standardized coverage tiers and high-deductible plan options. The bill amends existing law to implement this requirement without creating new funding.
