Enrolled Bill Summary

House Bill 707 amends the Local Government Code to remove the requirement that a county employee's request for an insurance premium payroll deduction or a change in the deduction be in writing. The act provides that the request for an insurance deduction remains in effect until the county officer is notified of a change in insurance premiums, requires the county officer to notify each affected employee of a change, and prohibits an insurance deduction from exceeding the requested amount plus the amount of any change in insurance premiums imposed after the request is made.
