Establishes fee on certain employers that employ individuals who receive health benefits coverage through State Medicaid program.

This bill establishes a fee for certain employers in New Jersey that employ employees or dependents who receive health benefits through the State Medicaid program. The fee amount varies based on the employer’s size, ranging from $325 to $725 per employee and dependent. Some employees, such as those with developmental disabilities or those who have worked for less than 90 days, are exempt. The bill also includes protections against using Medicaid coverage information to discriminate against job applicants or employees and ensures the confidentiality of employee data. It aims to offset the costs of providing healthcare coverage to Medicaid recipients.
