Texas HB3126 allows certain small school districts to rejoin the uniform group coverage program for active school employees with specific conditions.

Texas HB3126 amends the Insurance Code to allow certain school districts to rejoin the uniform group coverage program for active school employees. This applies to districts that discontinued participation effective September 1, 2022, and have 500 or fewer employees at the time of re-election. These districts can elect to participate before the fifth anniversary of their previous exit if they notify the trustee by December 31, 2025, and meet other requirements. Once elected, districts cannot discontinue participation until September 1, 2031.
