2007 - 2008 LEGISLATURE
March 11, 2008 - Introduced by Representatives Travis and Boyle. Referred to
Joint Committee on Finance.
AB951,1,2
1An Act to repeal and recreate 40.05 (4) (a) 2. of the statutes;
relating to:
2employer payment of health insurance premiums for state employees.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Currently, the state pays employer contributions toward health insurance
premiums for most state employees beginning on the first day of the seventh month
after the employee begins state employment. Beginning on July 1, 2008, the state
will pay employer contributions toward health insurance for all state employees,
other than limited term appointments, beginning on the first day of the third month
after the employee begins state employment. This bill requires the state to pay
employer contributions toward health insurance premiums for all state employees
beginning on the day on which the employee becomes insured, which is usually the
first day of the first month after the employee begins state employment.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
