Senate Bill 1448 amends the Education Code to require that group health benefit coverage provided by or offered through a school district to its employees under any law other than that relating to a uniform group coverage program is subject to laws relating to preexisting conditions, affiliation periods, and waiting periods. The bill specifies that the change applies to standard health benefit plans that do not offer or provide state-mandated health benefits and health and accident coverage provided through a risk pool for employees of political subdivisions.
