Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
2013 Wisconsin Act 20, the biennial budget act, requires the Group Insurance
Board (GIB), beginning on January 1, 2015, to offer to state employees a health care
coverage option that consists of a high-deductible health insurance plan and a
health savings account. This bill eliminates this requirement and a requirement
that the GIB must study the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of providing health
reimbursement accounts instead of health savings accounts.
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:
AB364,2,1411
40.03

12all rules required for the administration of the group health, long-term care, income
13continuation or life insurance plans established under subchs. IV to VI
