S 4872 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Provides notice of health insurance contracts for retired officers, employees, and their families

This bill requires public employers to provide 45 days' written notice to retired officers, employees, and their families before approving or amending health insurance contracts covering them. The notice must include either the full contract text with cost details or general terms plus a link to where the full details (including costs to the public corporation and retirees) can be accessed. It applies to all health insurance contracts for retirees that are authorized by a public corporation's governing board. This is a procedural requirement focused on transparency, not changes to insurance benefits or coverage.
