Short description: DAY CARE CENTERS-GROUP HEALTH Synopsis of Bill as introduced: Amends the State Employees Group Insurance Act of 1971. Allows a licensed day care center to apply to the Director of Central Managment Services to have its employees, annuitants, and their dependants provided group health insurance under the Act on a non-insured basis. FISCAL NOTE (Department of Central Management Services) The Department estimates there would be approximately 3,000 day care centers eligible to apply under HB 489. Since all Plan expenses are borne by the participating units, the bill would have minimal fiscal impact on the State. However, expenditure authority appropriations for the Local Government Health Insur- ance Reserve Fund would have to be increased significantly to cover payments for medical claims and administrative costs. Assuming approximately 4%-5% of the eligible day care centers would apply during the first year, the Department estimates first year administrative costs of approximately $350,000, including 3 to 5 staff. Subsequent fiscal year administrative costs would increase with increased participation.
