House Bill 755 amends the Insurance Code to include in the definition of "dependent," with respect to an individual eligible to participate in the state employee group benefits program, an individual's child who is at least 25 years old, who the Employees Retirement System of Texas board of trustees determines lives with or has the child's care provided by the individual on a regular basis, if the child's mental or physical condition is such that the child is dependent on the individual for care or support, the child's coverage has not lapsed, and, on the date the individual became eligible to participate in the group benefits program, the child was enrolled as the individual's dependent in health benefits coverage under the Texas Public School Retired Employees Group Benefits Act, the Texas School Employees Uniform Group Health Coverage Act, or the State University Employees Uniform Insurance Benefits Act or in continuation of that dependent coverage under the federal Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 and its subsequent amendments.
