HB 1002 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

State and School Employees Life and Health Insurance Plan; delete repealer on statute governing premium payments.

HB 1002 deletes a repealer provision from Mississippi Code Section 25-15-15, which governs premium payments for the State and School Employees Life and Health Insurance Plan. This preserves the existing funding structure where the state covers specified portions of health and life insurance costs for eligible employees, including state workers, school staff, and library employees. The bill does not alter benefit levels or cost-sharing requirements but ensures the current mechanism for collecting premiums and funding the plan remains active. It directly affects state and school employees covered under this insurance program.
