2016 House Bill 5924

Revise government employee health insurance caps

Introduced in the House

Sept. 21, 2016

Introduced by Rep. Pete Lucido (R-36)

To repeal an alternative “hard cap” on the value of employee health insurance benefits a state agency, school or local government may provide for employees, and make this law’s remaining “80/20” rule binding on local governments, which means employees would have to pay at least 20 percent of the insurance premium cost.

Referred to the Committee on Appropriations
