Plain-language change summary

The updated version of Bill HB 974 specifies that only certain regional airport authorities are authorized to provide dependent health insurance coverage as an employment benefit, whereas the previous version allowed all airport authorities this option. This change is significant because it narrows the applicability of the benefit, potentially impacting the types of airport authorities that can support their employees with dependent health insurance, which could affect recruitment and retention efforts in those specific areas.
