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

This bill (A 1833) removes a specific requirement from New Jersey's Fiscal Year 2026 appropriations act that mandated the State Health Benefits Program (SHBP) achieve $100 million in cost savings during the first six months of 2026. It eliminates detailed procedures for a committee to propose, verify, and vote on cost-saving measures, including deadlines for negotiations, mediation, and potential legislative overrides. The change directly affects the SHBP, which provides health benefits to state employees and retirees, by removing the mandatory savings target. This simplifies the program's funding process without altering the underlying benefit structure or cost-sharing arrangements.
