Explanation
There is no fiscal impact to the State resulting from the bill, which
requires that epinephrine cartridge injectors be covered under certain
health insurance policies at a total out of pocket cost of $25 or less. The
state employee and retiree health plan already provides coverage in
accordance with the bill

.
The bill may result in a potential cost to fully -insured
municipalities, to the extent that providing coverage below the out-of-
pocket threshold may increase premiums reflected in plan years
beginning on and after January 1, 2022.
The Out Years
The annualized ongoing fiscal impact identified above would
continue into the future subject to inflation.

Pursuant to federal law, self-insured plans are exempt from state health mandates.
However, the state employee and retiree plan has traditionally such adopted
mandates.
