Summary

Existing law requires the Board of Administration of the Public Employees' Retirement System to approve health benefit plans, to contract with carriers offering health benefit plans, and to administer a program to provide health benefits to state employees. Existing law requires the state and each employee to contribute a portion of the cost of providing the benefit coverage afforded under the approved health benefit plan in which the employee or annuitant is enrolled. Under existing law, enrollment in a health benefit plan serves as authorization of the deduction of the contribution from the salary of an employee. This bill would authorize an employee to elect not to enroll in a health benefit and to elect to be paid the contribution that the employer would have made toward the cost of benefits.
