Health benefits; employees of members of an association. Authorizes an association organized as a nonstock corporation whose members are employers conducting business in the Commonwealth to sponsor a trust that may offer or sell health plans to its members. To be eligible to sponsor a plan, the association is required to have been actively in existence for five years, have at least five members, have been formed for purposes other than obtaining or providing health benefits, and operate as a nonprofit entity. The health plans are to provide health benefits to the employees of members and the sponsoring association and their dependents. The health plan is a self-funded employee welfare benefit plan governed by and subject to the provisions of the federal Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The measure requires that health plans offered or sold under the program provide coverage for essential health benefits. The measure exempts such trust from state taxation and from insurance regulations.
