Summary
The measure amends state law so the Public Employees Insurance Agency must allow political subdivisions to pay their insurance premiums with credit cards or the state purchasing card. This gives counties, cities and other local entities a commercially acceptable payment option and aligns the agency with existing purchasing‑card procedures. It aims to simplify payments and improve efficiency.
