Raised Bill No. 5375, introduced in the February Session, 2024, mandates the Comptroller to conduct a comprehensive study on the health insurance coverage available to retired police officers in the state. The study is to focus on identifying any existing gaps, lack of coverage, or reductions in health insurance benefits for police officers who have retired, either due to normal retirement or early retirement caused by illness or injury. The term "police officer" is to be understood as defined in section 7-294a of the general statutes. The findings of this study are to be reported to the joint standing committee of the General Assembly that oversees insurance matters by January 1, 2025.

The bill specifies that the new section, Section 1, will take effect upon passage. The purpose of the bill is to ensure a thorough examination of the health insurance coverage for retired police officers, addressing any deficiencies or shortcomings in their coverage. The bill does not include any deletions from the current law but adds new legal language to initiate the study. The bill's text does not underline the new section as it is entirely new, and there are no proposed deletions enclosed in brackets as per the provided legislative format.
