COMMITTEE OF ORIGIN: Standing Committee on Commerce
Currently, an eligible employee for small employer health insurance is an employee who works on a full-time basis and has a normal work week of 30 or more hours.
The bill removes the provision that an employee, his or her spouse, and his or her minor children only count as one eligible employee when they are employed by the same small employer.
This bill would allow for those family members to be counted as separate eligible employees.
