A 3689 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Permits members of Legislature to enroll in SHBP.

This bill (A3689) allows current New Jersey legislators and their dependents to enroll in the State Health Benefits Program (SHBP). It amends the definition of "employee" under the SHBP to explicitly include legislators, making them eligible for the same health coverage available to other state employees. The bill also establishes a 60-day special enrollment period starting on its effective date for legislators to join the program. This change directly affects sitting members of the New Jersey Legislature and their families, providing them access to the state's health benefits plan.
