Texas SB811 allows local education agencies to form cooperatives for procuring group health insurance coverage for employees.

Texas SB811 amends Chapter 791, Government Code, by adding a new subchapter on interlocal contracting between local education agencies to procure health insurance coverage. It allows the governing body of a local education agency to enter into an interlocal contract with one or more other local education agencies to establish a cooperative. This cooperative can procure group health insurance coverage for employees. The cooperative is governed by a board of directors, which may include the chief executive officers of participating local education agencies or their designees.
