The bill enacts R.S. 22:37, which establishes protections for retired employees of district attorneys' offices regarding group health insurance coverage. It prohibits health insurance issuers from denying enrollment based solely on an individual's retirement status, ensuring that retired employees are treated equally to active employees in terms of insurance coverage. To qualify for enrollment, retired individuals must meet specific criteria, including having been a certificate holder under a group policy maintained by the district attorney's office and not yet being eligible for Medicare.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that while it prohibits discrimination based on employment status, it does not require district attorney's offices to provide health insurance coverage to retired employees or prevent them from offering coverage exclusively to active employees. The provisions ensure that health insurance issuers are not obligated to offer coverage or benefits to retired employees that they are not required to provide to active employees, thereby maintaining flexibility in insurance offerings.
