11:21 AM -- House Bill 10-1266

Representative Frangas, prime sponsor, presented House Bill 10-1266 concerning the inclusion of employees of specified employers in certain aspects of state group benefit plans at the option of the employer. Beginning on January 1, 2011, certain local governments, small businesses with less than 100 employees, and nonprofit organizations may offer participation in state fully-funded medical and dental plans. By electing to extend state group benefits to its employees, an employer agrees to exclusively offer state plans and participate in them for at least 3 years. The state personnel director is authorized to set minimum employer contributions towards its employees' premiums and charge an administrative fee to cover the state's costs. The bill was heard in committee previously on February 24, 2010 and March 3, 2010.
