Introduced
by
To expand to legislators elected before 1997 (elected in the November 1996 general election or earlier) certain legislative retirement health care benefits that now apply only to those House and Senate members elected before 1995. Members elected before 1995 now enjoy the same retirement health care benefits as legislators elected before 1992, when term limits were imposed on the legislature by a vote of the people. The bill would extend those benefits to current members who will be forced out of office after 2002 by term limits.
Referred to the Committee on Senior Health, Security, and Retirement
