Budget Round Amended Bill
Half Sheet Number 82#1c
Description

This language amendment requires the Department of Human Resource Management (DHRM) to conduct a comprehensive review of the public employee health programs in the Commonwealth. As part of the review, DHRM shall conduct an actuarial review of the impact on the state, the school boards, and other political subdivisions, from including the employees, and their dependents, of local governments including local school divisions in the state employee health program or in one statewide pooled plan for employees of political subdivisions. Local school boards and localities shall provide information to DHRM as requested for the actuarial analysis. The review shall also include an examination of The Local Choice (TLC) program’s policies, including its pooling and rating methodology, to determine whether overall improvements may be made to the program, with a specific goal of trying to increase the TLC program’s appeal among rural school divisions and local governments. During this effort, DHRM shall hold a series of meetings with stakeholders to educate them about the TLC program and solicit their feedback. DHRM shall provide a report detailing the findings and recommendations to the Chairmen of the House Appropriations Committee and Senate Finance Committee by October 31, 2015. The Director of the Department of Planning and Budget is authorized to transfer up to $250,000 general fund from program 757 (agency 995, Central Appropriations) from unobligated balances from prior year appropriation to DHRM as needed to fund the review and outreach efforts.
