Summary

HB381 requires hazardous duty time credits for correctional officers (one year for every five years of service) to be included in the calculation of state retiree health insurance contributions, with agencies reimbursing the board for the cost.

What This Bill Does

It amends the health insurance premium contribution rules to include hazardous duty time earned by correctional officers under the Employees' Retirement System or Teachers' Retirement System when calculating the state’s contribution for retirees. The hazardous duty credit is set at one year of creditable time for every five years of service for officers retiring after 2012. The employing agency must reimburse the State Employees' Health Insurance Board for the cost of these credited hazardous time credits. The change affects retirees under ERS/TRS and operates within existing Medicare and premium cap provisions.

Who It Affects
  • Correctional officers covered by the Employees' Retirement System or Teachers' Retirement System who retire after 2012, whose retiree health insurance premiums will reflect hazardous duty time credits.
  • State and local government agencies that employ correctional officers and the State Employees' Health Insurance Board, which must reimburse the board for the cost of the hazardous duty time credits.
Key Provisions
  • Hazardous duty time credit is added to the calculation of the employer health insurance premium contribution for correctional officers retiring after December 31, 2012, with the credit equal to one year of time for every five years of service under ERS/TRS.
  • The employing agency must reimburse the Health Insurance Board for the cost of the credited hazardous duty time, under terms determined by the board.
