House Memorial 44 requests the Legislative Education Study Committee to convene a working group to examine the increasing costs of insurance premiums for school employees and the group insurance contributions outlined in the Public School Insurance Authority Act during the 2025 legislative interim. The memorial highlights the challenges posed by rising medical care costs, an aging workforce, and chronic illnesses, which have led to increased health insurance premiums that could undermine the legislature's efforts to raise school employee salaries.

The working group is to include representatives from relevant state agencies, such as the Public Education Department, the Department of Finance and Administration, and the General Services Department, as well as a representative from the Public School Insurance Authority and members from school districts and charter schools. The Legislative Education Study Committee is tasked with preparing a written report detailing the working group's findings and recommendations, which will be submitted to the governor and the legislature. Additionally, a copy of the memorial will be sent to the Legislative Education Study Committee for distribution to potential working group members.
