HB 473 -- Health Plan for State Employees

Co-Sponsors:  Seigfreid, Lowe, Bruns, Shoemyer (9), Campbell,
Deeken, Ward, Moore

Effective in Fiscal Year 2004, this bill requires state employees
to contribute a percentage of their annual income toward their
health insurance coverage for a spouse or children on the basis
of the employee's salary.  The coverage is to be Missouri
Consolidated Health Care Plan's premium plan option.  If the
employee's plan is not the lowest cost plan, the state will
contribute the amount of the lowest cost plan.

The General Assembly is to appropriate moneys in the Fiscal Year
2004 budget to cover the cost of reimbursing employees for
Missouri Consolidated Health Care Plan premiums paid by employees
between January 1, 2003, and June 30, 2003, which exceed the
premium amount that would have been paid by the employees had the
bill been in effect.

The bill contains an emergency clause.
