Allow an entity enrolled in PEIA to leave PEIA and have a 5 year window to return

HB 2044 amends West Virginia's Public Employees Insurance Act (PEIA) to allow employers that withdraw from the program to rejoin within a five-year window. Specifically, employers withdrawing from PEIA after July 1, 2025, will be eligible to re-enroll in the public employee health insurance program within five years of their withdrawal date. This change modifies §5-16-29 to add a grace period for employers who choose to leave PEIA, rather than affecting individual employees. The bill directly impacts public-sector employers, such as county school boards or government entities, that currently participate in or may leave the PEIA program.
