What This Bill Does
The bill amends Section 36-29-14 to let the Alabama Network of Children's Advocacy Centers and its member Centers elect to participate in the state health insurance coverage. Participation is optional, and the employer usually pays some or all of the premiums while the State Employees' Insurance Board administers the plan. If an employer withdraws, it must cover claims incurred before withdrawal and pay any overdue premiums with interest; providers under the Local Government Health Insurance Program would not cover the withdrawing entity for two years. The board will set rules and may hire actuarial and other services as needed.
