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 New Jersey bill modifies health care benefit rules for elected public officials. It removes part-time elected officials (those working fewer than 35 hours weekly) from eligibility for employer-paid health care coverage. The bill also prohibits all elected officials from receiving any payment from their employer for waiving health coverage, including those who had previously waived coverage. Additionally, it codifies the Pension Fraud and Abuse Unit as a permanent state entity.
