The bill enacts R.S. 22:37, which establishes protections for retired employees of district attorneys' offices in Louisiana 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, retirees must meet specific conditions, 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. It also allows health insurance issuers to deny coverage under circumstances where active employees could be denied, ensuring that the provisions do not impose undue obligations on the district attorney's offices or the insurance issuers.
