New Jersey S1755 allows volunteer firefighters and emergency responders to be included in the eligible employee group for small employer health.
New Jersey S1755 amends the state's small employer health benefits plan statutes to clarify that volunteer firefighters and other emergency responders can be included in the group of eligible employees in municipalities regarded as small employers. This inclusion allows these volunteers to receive coverage under the same group plan. The bill resolves a conflict between existing statutes that permit municipalities to offer group health insurance benefits to these volunteers but do not include them in the definition of eligible employees under small employer health benefits plans.
