House Resolution No. by Representative Stagni urges the Office of Group Benefits to conduct a study on the potential benefits of expanding eligibility for its health insurance programs to include additional political subdivisions. Currently, some local employees, such as those from school boards and certain parish judges, can participate in the state's self-insured health insurance program. The resolution emphasizes the importance of providing health and welfare benefits to state and political subdivision employees, especially in light of rising health insurance costs and the need for fiscal prudence.

The resolution calls for the Office of Group Benefits to assess whether expanding participation could lead to improved rates for all members and employers. It mandates that the findings of this study be reported to the House Committee on Appropriations and the David R. Poynter Legislative Research Library by January 31, 2026. A copy of the resolution will also be sent to the CEO of the Office of Group Benefits, Heath Williams.
