Expands membership of State Health Benefits Commission and School Employees' Health Benefits Commission.

This bill (S 2232) expands membership on two New Jersey health benefits commissions. It increases the State Health Benefits Commission from 5 to 9 members (adding more employee representatives from the AFL-CIO) and the School Employees' Health Benefits Commission from 9 to 13 members (adding more appointed representatives from education unions and school boards). The bill also creates a new 12-member State Health Benefits Plan Design Committee to make decisions on specific health plan components, requiring 7 affirmative votes for approval. These changes directly affect state and school employees covered by these health benefit programs by altering how their health insurance plans are designed and administered.
