relative to coverage of children under the state retiree insurance plan and relative to federal immigration enforcement.

HB 1292 proposes to expand health insurance coverage under the state retiree plan to include dependent children aged 19 to 25 who are full-time students, in addition to minors and disabled children. The bill would require these eligible young adults to pay a premium equal to the full cost of the plan benefits to maintain their coverage. Although the legislation also mentions federal immigration enforcement in its title, the provided text only details changes to insurance eligibility rules. Ultimately, the measure did not become law as it was laid on the table and died when the legislative session ended.
