On March 30 the Bartholomew County Commissioners approved Amendment No. 1 to the Employee Benefit Trust Plan. The amendment contains two parts: Part 1 updates "Termination of Coverage" language (pages 62–63) to implement options for health care coverage for Public Safety employees disabled after Jan. 1, 2020, pursuant to House Bill 1044. Part 2 revises eligibility language (pages 12–13) to add more specific wording to the county's "Working Spouse Rule."
