SF 8 Wyoming House · 2024 Regular Session

Health insurance for volunteer emergency responders.

This bill allows volunteer firefighters, emergency medical technicians, and search and rescue personnel in Wyoming to enroll in the state's group insurance plan. To qualify, volunteers must meet service requirements (e.g., 50% meeting attendance for firefighters, 25% call response), not have other government health coverage, and reside in Wyoming. Volunteers pay the full cost of premiums themselves - there are no employer contributions - and must submit monthly verification of their active status. The bill modifies existing state insurance rules to formally include these volunteers under specific enrollment timelines and eligibility criteria.
