AN ACT ALLOWING BOARD MEMBERS OF QUASI-PUBLIC AGENCIES TO OBTAIN HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE UNDER THE STATE EMPLOYEE PLAN.

SB 1384 allows certain board members of state-run agencies (like the Connecticut Airport Authority or Connecticut Health Insurance Exchange) to join the state employee health insurance plan. To qualify, a board member must have been confirmed by both legislative houses, not already be eligible for the plan, and pay the same premium percentage as state employees. The agency they serve must reimburse the state for the remaining premium costs. This change has a net neutral fiscal impact, as reimbursements offset any state costs. The law takes effect July 1, 2025.
