To reinstate the discount on insurance for retired firefighters hired after 2010
HB 5569 reinstates a discounted health insurance premium rate for retired firefighters who were hired after 2010. The bill amends West Virginia's Public Employees Insurance Act to specifically restore this discount, which was previously removed for this group. This policy change directly affects retired firefighters hired after 2010 who would now qualify for the same reduced insurance rates as other retired public employees. The provision requires the finance board to reinstate this discount under the state's insurance program.
