SHB 2341 - S AMD 491

By Senator Pflug

WITHDRAWN 4/25/2009

    On page 17, after line 34, insert the following:

NEW SECTION. Sec. 7.  If the monthly funding rate for public employee benefits in the omnibus appropriations act is not reduced to seven hundred and six dollars for fiscal years 2010 and 2011 and a commensurate restoration to the level of funding for the basic health plan in the omnibus appropriations act which reflects the full extent of those savings is not made, this act is null and void.

EFFECT:   Ties implementation of this act to a reduction of the public employee benefit funding rate from $723 to $706 which would produce $169.2M of savings for the 09-11 biennium. This level of savings would restore approximately 30,000 enrollment slots for the working poor that are presumed to be eliminated in the 09-11 budget.
