Adds to existing law to create the Public School Health Insurance Fund.

This proposal creates a dedicated fund for the purpose of funding the one-time amount required for public schools to buy in to the state’s medical and dental group insurance plan. It establishes limits for the amount that can be allocated per school district, and how to handle situations in which the demand exceeds available funds. To offset an ongoing amount of funding for school health insurance, this bill also sunsets leadership premiums and removes references to it throughout code.
