AN ACT CONCERNING HEALTH INSURANCE BENEFITS FOR STATE MARSHALS.

SB 1526 adds state marshals to the list of state employees eligible for group health insurance benefits under Connecticut's existing state-sponsored plan. This means state marshals will now receive the same health insurance coverage as other state employees, with the state covering most premium costs and employees paying a portion. The bill expands current coverage provisions (effective July 1, 2025) to include state marshals' surviving spouses and dependent children, mirroring the existing terms for other public safety employees like police and firefighters. It does not create new benefits but extends current coverage to this specific workforce category.
