State and School Employees Life and Health Insurance Plan; extend repealer on statute governing premium payments.
HB 1764 extends the repeal date for Mississippi's statute governing premium payments under the State and School Employees Life and Health Insurance Plan. This change keeps the current funding structure in place, ensuring the state continues covering 50% of life insurance costs and 100% of basic health insurance costs (for eligible employees hired before or after January 1, 2006) without disruption. The bill directly affects state employees, public school staff, library workers, and community college employees covered under this insurance plan. It does not alter benefit levels or cost-sharing rules but delays the sunset of the existing funding mechanism.
