Removes certain part-time elected public officials from eligibility for employer-paid health care benefits coverage; makes elected public officials ineligible for payments for waiving health care benefits coverage; codifies Pension Fraud and Abuse Unit.

This bill changes health care benefit rules for elected public officials in New Jersey. It removes eligibility for employer-paid health benefits for officials working fewer than 35 hours per week, while current beneficiaries can keep coverage if they met the requirement before the law takes effect. It also bans elected officials from receiving payments for waiving health benefits (a practice allowed for other employees), and formally establishes the Pension Fraud and Abuse Unit within the Treasury Department to investigate pension system fraud, giving it subpoena power for investigations. These changes apply to county and municipal officials not covered by the state health benefits program.
