Adds county and municipal representation to State Health Benefits Commission.
This bill increases the State Health Benefits Commission from five to seven members by adding two new positions: a municipal business administrator (appointed by the Governor based on a recommendation from the New Jersey League of Municipalities) and a county administrator (appointed by the Governor based on a recommendation from the New Jersey Association of Counties). The commission oversees health benefits for state employees, including setting rates and program rules. These additions ensure county and municipal governments have direct representation in decisions affecting their employees' health coverage. The change directly affects state employees, local governments, and the administration of New Jersey's state health benefits program.
