SB 5930 to save the state $10 million by requiring non-represented state employees to pay more for health insurance, cleared the Senate Ways and Means Committee Monday.
The bill would require that state employees not covered by a union contract would pay 15 percent of the cost of their health premiums. The 40,000 state employees represented by the Federation wouldn’t be affected because they have contracts; they would continue to pay 12 percent. An amendment proposed by Sen. Joe Zarelli to keep non-represented employees at the same level failed on a vote of 7-14.
