Summary

The bill changes state law so that permanent technical college staff who work at least 20 hours a week can enroll in the same health plan offered to state employees. Their employing school must pay the state’s share of the premium, while the employee pays any remaining cost directly to the state treasurer. This expands health coverage to a group that was previously excluded.
