Public school health insurance fund
HEALTH INSURANCE – Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding the public school health insurance participation fund.

RS30341 / H0203

This proposal amends the dedicated fund for the purpose of funding the one-time amount required for public schools to buy in to the state’s medical and dental group insurance plan to be what is required as insurance rates change. It extends the time limit allowed before sunset to be 2025.

Amendment of the Fund itself has no fiscal impact to the state. The legislature could, at its discretion, set aside an amount as part of the appropriations process to fund this account. No appropriation is expressly authorized in this bill.
