Leg Update Draft
Under current law, the Board of Community Health is authorized to contract with county libraries to include certain library staff under health insurance plans created for public school teachers. The county deducts required amounts from the salary of these employees and remits it to the Board of Community Health. This legislation specifies that "librarians" means certified personnel who work at least thirty hours per week. "Other personnel" specifies that it applies to non-certified employees who work at least thirty hours per week. The fiscal note issued with the substitute version of this bill estimates at least a $1.6 million dollar savings to the counties in benefit costs for state paid positions funded by counties.
Green background on status indicates a bill has been acted on the last recorded legislative day.
