Requires person eligible for health care benefits from more than one public entity to choose coverage from only one.

This bill requires public employees in New Jersey who hold multiple government positions (such as state jobs, school board roles, or local government positions) to select health care coverage from only one public entity. It prohibits these individuals from accepting payment to waive benefits with other public employers. The law applies to anyone eligible for health benefits through more than one public employer due to their various public roles. Key provisions mandate a single choice of coverage and ban financial incentives for waiving benefits with other employers. The bill takes effect December 31 following its enactment.
