House Bill 973 amends the Education Code to entitle a school district employee who resigns at the end of a school year to participate or be enrolled in the district's group health benefits plan for one year from the date the district's group health benefits plan was first made available to district employees for the last school year in which the employee was employed by the district. If an employee's resignation is effective after the last day of a school year, the bill prohibits the district from diminishing or eliminating the amount of a contribution available to the employee for coverage under Chapter 1581, Insurance Code, as long as the employee is entitled to participate or continues to be enrolled in the district's group health benefits plan.
