AN ACT CONCERNING HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR MUNICIPAL EMPLOYEES UNDER THE STATE EMPLOYEE HEALTH PLAN.

SB 448 allows municipal employees (including teachers) to join the state employee health plan while preserving local collective bargaining agreements. The bill requires the state to provide municipal employers with clear, transparent cost information for employees choosing this plan. It directly affects municipal workers and their local governments by expanding health coverage options without overriding existing labor agreements. The key change is enabling participation in the state plan while ensuring cost clarity for employers.
