BILL NUMBER: S3660 TITLE OF BILL : An act authorizing municipalities to join a county self-funded or self-insured health plan PURPOSE : Self-insurance or self-funding for health insurance is significantly less expensive than contracting out to private health insurers but requires a sufficient number of employees to be economically possible. Accordingly, at least 19 Counties currently self-insure. On the other hand, most municipalities, including school districts, do not have enough employees to self-insure. This bill allows them to do so by giving them the potential to join County self-insurance plans. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS : The bill allows any municipality located in whole or in part of a County to join a County self-insured health plan, provided that the County and the municipality both agree to allow the municipality do so. JUSTIFICATION : Municipalities and the New York State Association of Counties have requested and support the bill. In addition, certain health insurers
