Overview
This bill directs the State Health Benefits Commission to use funds from a recent settlement with Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield related to a False Claims Act investigation. Specifically, the $78 million received by the Division of Pensions and Benefits will be used to lower health care contribution costs for public employees at employers other than the state government. The bill excludes independent State authorities from this reduction. This aims to provide financial relief to public employees regarding their health insurance premiums.
