House Bill 725 amends the Insurance Code to allow certain active and retired employees of a community supervision and corrections department (CSCD), as well as their eligible dependents, to participate in the state's Uniform Group Insurance Program. The bill establishes procedures for employees to obtain coverage in the program and requires the criminal justice assistance division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice to make contribution payments to the program in the same amount for a CSCD employee as it would for a state employee.
