AB242,1,2
1An Act to create 40.52 (5) of the statutes;
relating to: health care coverage for
2certain participants under the Wisconsin retirement system.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, certain participants in the Wisconsin retirement system
(WRS), who are no longer participating employes under the WRS, may be covered
under health care coverage plans offered by the group insurance board (GIB). These
participants include WRS annuitants and former state employes who have at least
20 years of creditable service in the WRS and who are not immediately eligible for
a WRS annuity. This bill requires GIB to establish different levels of copayments,
coinsurance and deductibles for the health care coverage plans offered to these WRS
participants.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
