This bill requires counties and cities in North Carolina to mandate annual compensation disclosures from benefit providers servicing their employees and retirees.

  • § 153A-466

    Each provider of life, health, or other insurance, or other fringe benefits, including voluntary benefits, to county employees, dependents of county employees, or persons retired from county employment shall, on an annual basis, submit to the county a full compensation disclosure of all funds paid to the provider by the county. For purposes of this section, the term 'provider' includes, but is not limited to, an agent, broker, consultant, third-party administrator, pharmacy benefits manager, and insurance company. The compensation disclosure shall include all of the following: (1) All income paid, directly or indirectly, to the provider, including, but not limited to, commissions, bonuses, fees, including fees for consulting or administrative services, and management compensation for shared risk arrangements in which the county participated for life, health, and other fringe benefits, including voluntary benefits. (2) An affirmation that none of the compensation paid by the county has been provided to any county employee or elected official, directly or indirectly.

    This adds a requirement for county benefit providers to disclose compensation information annually.
