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

SCR 61 creates a special 14-member committee (with balanced political representation) to investigate costs and decisions affecting New Jersey's public employee health care programs. The committee will examine premium increases in state health programs, contract disputes with Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield, allegations of executive branch influence on Treasury staff regarding a $34 million contract, and implementation of a 2019 law establishing fund subaccounts and third-party reviews. It will gather evidence through hearings and subpoenas (with joint approval of co-chairs and leadership) and issue a report with findings and recommendations. The committee directly affects state health care program administration and the Department of the Treasury's operations.
