BILL NUMBER:S5040
TITLE OF BILL:
An act to amend the insurance law, in relation to municipal cooperative
health benefit plans
PURPOSE: To expand participation in municipal
cooperative health benefit plans to include local authorities.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 4702 (f) is amended to
expand the definition of "municipal corporation" to include a local
authority as defined in section 2 of the public authorities law.
EXISTING LAW: Current law defines "municipal
corporation" as a city with a population of less than one million,
county outside NYC, town, village, BOCES, school district, public
library or a business improvement district.
JUSTIFICATION: Article 47 establishes Municipal
Health Cooperative Health Benefit Plans to provide a mechanism for
municipalities to band together to collectively purchase health
insurance and prescription drug coverage at a reasonable rate for their
covered employees and retirees. In 2010, the Greater Tompkins County
Municipal Health Insurance Consortium was established, making this the
first municipal cooperative health benefit plan to be created since
Article 47 was enacted in 1993. Currently, the only entities eligible to
