Amends Fiscal Year 2026 annual appropriations act concerning language requiring achievement of cost savings for SHBP.*

Bill A6201 removes a requirement from New Jersey's Fiscal Year 2026 state budget that mandated the State Health Benefits Program (SHBP) to achieve $100 million in cost savings during the first six months of 2026. The removed language previously required the State and public employees' representatives on the SHBP Design Committee (SHBPDC) to submit cost-saving proposals by July 31, 2025, for actuarial review, with voting deadlines by September 30, 2025, and fallback steps like mediation if targets weren't met. By eliminating this requirement, the bill removes the $100 million savings target and associated deadlines for the SHBP budget process. This directly affects the SHBP's administration, removing obligations tied to cost-saving negotiations and verifications.
