A Senate Joint Resolution concerning

State Employees' Health Care Coverage

FOR the purpose of requesting the Governor to direct the
Secretary of the Department of Personnel and the Health
Insurance Administrator to study the feasibility of
implementing a health insurance program which would provide
incentives to State employees to reduce their utilization of
health care services in order to lower the State's burden in
paying for health care insurance costs for its employees;
requesting the Legislative Policy Committee to direct the
report of the Secretary of the Department of Personnel to
the Budget Committees for their review and analysis; and
requesting the Budget Committees to study and recommend
appropriate action concerning a "stay well" program for
State employees.

WHEREAS, It is in the interest of the State of Maryland to
provide its employees with the best possible health care coverage
at the lowest possible cost; and
