Requires SHBP and SEHBP commissions to use funds from 2025 False Claims Act settlement with Horizon to lower public employee health care contribution costs.
This bill directs the State Health Benefits Program (SHBP) and School Employees' Health Benefits Program (SEHBP) commissions to use $78 million from a 2025 False Claims Act settlement with Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield to lower health insurance costs for public employees. Specifically, it requires these funds to reduce the contribution amounts paid by state and school employees (and their dependents) for health care coverage under SHBP and SEHBP. The settlement mandates Horizon pay $100 million to the state, with $78 million allocated to these health programs. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage.
