HB 239 -- Health Plan for State Employees

Sponsor:  Low (39)

Effective in Fiscal Year 2006, 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 the Missouri
Consolidated Health Care Plan's (MCHCP) 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
2006 budget to cover the cost of reimbursing employees for MCHCP
premiums paid between January 1, 2005, and June 30, 2005, which
exceed the amount that would have been paid by the employees had
the bill been in effect.

The bill contains an emergency clause.
