This bill mandates that school districts and charter schools in Minnesota complete an annual health insurance survey, which will be administered by the Legislative Budget Office. The survey must be returned by September 1 each year and will collect comprehensive data regarding health insurance costs, including the number of employees, participation in health plans, premium payments, and various plan details. The Legislative Budget Office is required to compile the survey results and produce a report by December 1 each year, which will be made publicly available on their website.

Additionally, the bill includes an appropriation of funds from the general fund to the Legislative Budget Office to support the completion of the annual report. If a school district or charter school fails to comply with the survey requirements, the Legislative Budget Office or any individual may take legal action to enforce compliance. This legislation aims to enhance transparency and accountability regarding health insurance costs in educational institutions.
