Committee advances bill to remove special‑interest appointing authority from benefits committees
Summary
HB 25 36 would strip special‑interest appointing authority from committees overseeing state, local‑education and local‑government insurance plans; sponsor said the change removes a special‑interest appointment mechanism. Committee advanced the measure to full committee (5–1).
Representative Hill (introduced on the record as the bill sponsor) described HB 25 36 as an administration measure for the Department of Finance and Administration, Benefits Administration Division. The bill would remove special‑interest appointing authority from the statutorily created committees for the state insurance plan, the local education insurance plan and the local government insurance plan. "What this legislation is seeking to do is remove special interest appointing authority from all 3 of those committees," the sponsor said.
No substantive questions were raised and the committee voted to advance the bill (clerks reported 5 ayes and 1 no). The chair announced the bill "moves on to full committee."
