Short description: 
EMPLOYEE BENEFIT-MAIL NOTICE                                               

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends  provisions  of  the  Employee  Benefit  Contribution  Act      
   requiring an employer that has agreed to make payments to  an employee      
   health  insurance plan to notify its employees of any failure to  make      
   payments  if  the   failure  may  result  in  the  loss  of  insurance      
   coverage.  Provides  that  the  employer  must  mail  the notification      
   directly to each of its employees who  are  covered  under  the  plan.      
   Deletes language providing that notification may be made by posting in      
   a  conspicuous   place  in   the   place   of  employment and that the      
   Department  of  Insurance  has   authority   to   inspect  places   of      
   employment    for    the    purpose   of   assuring   the   employer's      
   compliance with the notification requirements.                              
        SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                
        Provides that an employer that has agreed to make payments to  an      
   employee  health  insurance  plan  shall  notify  its employees of any      
   failure to make the payments if  the  failure  to  make  the  payments      
   "shall  result" (rather than "may result") in the "total loss" (rather      
   than "loss") of insurance coverage. Provides that  the  employer  must      
   "provide  written  notification" (rather than "mail the notification")      
   directly to each employee who is covered under the plan.
