Adds county and municipal representation to State Health Benefits Commission.
This bill increases the State Health Benefits Commission from five to seven members by adding two new positions: a municipal business administrator (appointed by the Governor upon recommendation from the New Jersey League of Municipalities) and a county administrator (appointed by the Governor upon recommendation from the New Jersey Association of Counties). The commission oversees health benefits for state employees and its decisions impact both state and local government employers. The change ensures county and municipal governments have a direct voice in health benefits policy without altering the commission's core responsibilities. This is a structural adjustment to representation, not a change to the benefits program itself.
