Summary
Existing federal law, the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) , enacts various health care coverage market reforms that take effect January 1, 2014. Among other things, the PPACA requires a health insurance issuer that offers coverage in the small group or individual market to ensure that the coverage includes the essential health benefits package, as defined, and describes essential health benefits for that purpose. Existing law states that it is the policy of this state to vigorously enforce the laws requiring employers to secure the payment of compensation for workers, as specified. Existing law defines a project labor agreement, as specified. A project labor agreement may include a trust or custodial benefit plan to provide health and welfare or similar benefits for workers. This bill would provide that a contractor that bids on or has been awarded work covered by a project labor agreement that provides health care coverage to workers on the project that is the subject of the agreement, that includes essential health benefits, as described in the PPACA, and that provides evidence of that coverage to the entity awarding the contract, is exempt from a requirement to pay into a trust or custodial benefit plan for health and welfare or similar benefits for those workers an amount equal to the amount that the contractor would have been required to pay into that trust or custodial benefit plan for health care costs for those workers.
