HB 6999 Connecticut House · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT REQUIRING A STUDY OF MULTIPLE EMPLOYER WELFARE ARRANGEMENTS FOR TRADE ASSOCIATIONS AND A REPORT CONCERNING HEALTH CARE PLANS, RETIREMENT PLANS AND OTHER BENEFITS PROVIDED BY NONSTATE PUBLIC EMPLOYERS.

HB 6999 requires a study of group health and retirement plans (known as multiple employer welfare arrangements) used by trade associations, along with a report on similar benefits provided by nonstate public employers like school districts or municipal governments. The bill directs state officials to examine how these plans operate, including their coverage and costs, for trade associations and local government entities. It does not change current benefits but mandates a detailed analysis to inform future policy. The bill passed the House on May 28, 2025, and is now pending Senate action.
