Bill summary

As the title indicates. Applies only to the Beacon Center local management entity (LME). Modifies definitions that apply to Article 3A of GS Chapter 135 for the purpose of allowing LMEs to participate in the State Health Plan. Provides that it is not the intent of the General Assembly to violate the State Health Plan’s exemption from the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, Pub. L. 93-406, as amended (ERISA), and that if any court of competent jurisdiction rules that inclusion of an LME in the State Health Plan violates ERISA, then this act is repealed and any individual enrolled in the State Health Plan under this act is to be disenrolled unless the individual independently qualifies for coverage under the State Health Plan other than under this act.
Effective July 1, 2011.
