SUMMARY:
Local government health insurance plans; purchase of continued health insurance by surviving spouse and dependents of certain public safety employees. Defines "plan sponsor" as the local government employer which has established a plan of health insurance coverage for its employees and retirees, and provides that the spouse and any dependents of a deceased local public safety employee whose death occurs as the direct or proximate result of the performance of his duty (law-enforcement officer, firefighter, etc.) who purchase continued health insurance coverage from such plan sponsor shall pay the same portion of the applicable premium as active employees pay for the same class of coverage, and the local government employer that employed the deceased employee shall pay the remaining portion of the premium. The bill also provides that at no time shall a surviving spouse or dependent pay more for continued health insurance coverage provided by the plan sponsor than active employees pay under the same plan for the same class of coverage.
