ACR 55 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Constitutes special committee of Senate and General Assembly entitled "New Jersey Public Employee Health Care Program Costs Investigation Committee."

ACR 55 creates a special legislative committee to investigate costs in New Jersey's public employee health care programs. The committee will examine premium increases for state health benefits, contract disputes with Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield, allegations about Governor's Office interference in Treasury staff decisions, and the implementation of a 2019 law establishing fund subaccounts and third-party reviews. This procedural resolution does not change policy but mandates a fact-finding investigation to inform future legislative decisions. The committee’s report will recommend potential policy changes after reviewing these specific issues.
