Title

Persons covered by State Employees' Insurance Board (SEIB) killed in line of duty, surviving spouse and dependent authorized to continue insurance coverage paid from State Treasury (2012-20070)

Summary

HB11 would require SEIB to continue health insurance coverage for surviving spouses and dependents of SEIB-covered employees who were killed or injured in the line of duty, with costs paid by the State Treasury.

What This Bill Does

If passed, the bill ensures that survivors of SEIB-covered employees killed or injured in the line of duty can stay on SEIB health insurance. It overrides other laws to allow this continued coverage and specifies that the State Treasury will pay the costs. Coverage ends for a spouse if they remarry or obtain alternate insurance, and ends for dependents when their eligibility terminates. The act becomes effective on the first day of the third month after passage and governor approval.

Who It Affects

• Surviving spouse of a SEIB-covered employee who was killed in the line of duty or died as a result of a line-of-duty injury, who will continue to be insured under SEIB.
• Dependents (such as children) of a SEIB-covered employee who was killed in the line of duty or died as a result of a line-of-duty injury, who will continue to be insured under SEIB.

Key Provisions

• Surviving spouse and dependents of a SEIB-covered employee who dies in the line of duty or from a line-of-duty injury shall continue to be covered under the SEIB health plan, with costs paid from the State Treasury.
• Continued coverage ends for the spouse if they remarry or obtain alternate health insurance; continued coverage ends for dependents when their eligibility terminates.
• Notwithstanding any other laws to the contrary, this act provides for the continuation of coverage.
• The act becomes effective on the first day of the third month following its passage and approval.
