S.3949

Requires proportional distribution of payment between employers for health benefit payment obligations for certain retirees.

This bill requires the State and local government entities and institutions of higher education to distribute post-employment health benefit payment obligations proportionally between employers if a retiree who qualifies for retirement health benefits worked for more than one State, local, or higher education employer, or is a retirant of a State-administered retirement system. The bill does not require local government entities which have not opted to provide employer-paid health benefits coverage in retirement to contribute to the cost of such coverage for a retiree.
