Requires SHBP commission to use funds from 2025 False Claims Act settlement with Horizon to lower local public employee health care contribution costs.

This bill directs the State Health Benefits Program (SHBP) commission to use $78 million from the 2025 False Claims Act settlement with Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield to lower health care contribution costs for public employees. It specifically applies to employees of local governments (cities, towns, counties) and school districts - not State employees or independent State authorities - covered under the SHBP health benefits program. The funds must reduce the portion employees pay for their own health coverage and dependents' coverage. This uses settlement proceeds from Horizon’s $100 million payment to the State, with $78 million allocated directly to the SHBP program.
