The bill, H.B. No. 3254, amends the Insurance Code by adding Section 1551.1095, which establishes the eligibility criteria for members of the State Board of Education to participate in a health benefit plan under the state employees group benefits program. Specifically, it allows individuals who are members of the State Board of Education and are not otherwise eligible under Section 1551.109 to apply for participation in the health benefit plan, provided they arrange for payment of contributions.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that participants who qualify under this new section will not receive any state contributions towards their premiums. The provisions of this act are set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
