Requires election by certain public employees of certain health care benefit plans; prohibits payments by public employers for waiver of such plans.

Summary

The legislation requires that when both spouses are public employees eligible for health benefits, the higher‑earning spouse must select coverage with their employer and the other spouse cannot receive coverage from their own public employer. It also permits public employers to allow employees to waive their plan, but any payment to the employee for the waiver is limited to a set percentage of the employer’s savings. The changes apply to schools, counties, municipalities and other public agencies.
