Previous Next
- Introduced by Rep. Dian Slavens (D) on June 7, 2011, to end the post-retirement health care insurance coverage provided to legislators. Under current law, legislators who have served six years get full health coverage beginning at age 55. Under this bill, legislators would instead be enrolled in the regular state employee retirement health benefits system, which pays a portion of post-retirement health benefits based on years of employment (for each year on the job employees get an additional 3 percent premium support, but are only vested after 10 years). However, the bill would only apply this to legislators starting in 2013.
- Referred to the House Oversight, Reform, and Ethics Committee on June 7, 2011.

1) Re: 2011 House Bill 4706 (Revise post-retirement health coverage for new legislators ) by inform4 on June 14, 2011This bill not only should have been introduced years ago, but it should be made retroactive for all current and future legislators. As usual current sitting legislators are making sure that they are protecting themselves at the expense of the taxpayers and the state.
Yeah, don't start this until 2013, so you can make sure it doesn't include you!
