The proposed legislation, General Assembly Raised Bill No. 6999, mandates that nonstate public employers submit an annual report detailing their health care plans, retirement plans, and other benefits. Specifically, the bill requires these employers to provide comprehensive information, including the total number of employees covered under their health care plans, the types of coverage selected, total premiums, employer contributions to health savings accounts, participant numbers, and a summary of benefits for each plan. This report must be submitted to the Comptroller, the Office of Policy and Management, and the Office of Fiscal Analysis by October 1, 2019, and annually thereafter.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that starting January 1, 2026, the Secretary of the Office of Policy and Management is required to compile and submit a summary and analysis of the reports received from nonstate public employers to the relevant joint standing committee of the General Assembly. The effective date for these provisions is set for October 1, 2025. The bill repeals the existing Section 3-123xxx and replaces it with the new reporting requirements, thereby enhancing transparency regarding the benefits provided by nonstate public employers.
