Revises provisions relating to the Public Employees' Benefits Program. (BDR 23-311)

AB 22 revises how Nevada's Public Employees' Benefits Program selects insurance providers. It transfers the authority to evaluate and award contracts from the Benefits Board to the Program's Executive Officer, eliminating the Board's requirement to hold closed meetings for bid reviews and open meetings for contract awards. The bill also requires at least one Board member to serve on any evaluation committee formed for procurement. This change directly affects the Board's administrative role and the process for selecting insurance vendors serving state employees.
