Permits State employees not covered by collective negotiations agreements to enroll in certain negotiated health care plans.

This bill allows New Jersey state employees without a union representative (non-unionized employees) to enroll in specific health care plans, including the CWA Unity DIRECT or CWA Unity DIRECT2019 plans (or their successors). Starting January 1, 2025, these employees who choose such a plan will have their health benefit costs determined by the terms of that negotiated plan, rather than standard State payment structures. The bill amends existing law to adjust payment obligations for these employees based on the negotiated terms of the selected plan. This directly affects non-unionized state employees by expanding their access to certain health care options with cost-sharing aligned to the chosen plan.
