AN ACT CONCERNING HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR EARLY CHILD CARE WORKERS.

SB 1007 would allow early child care workers to enroll in the state employee health insurance plan. This bill amends state statutes to expand eligibility under the existing state employee health plan specifically to include all early child care workers. The key provision removes current barriers, enabling these workers to access the same health coverage options available to state employees. This change directly affects early child care workers in Connecticut, providing them a new pathway to affordable health insurance through the state plan.
