This Act allows the appointed members of the State Employee Benefits Committee (Committee) to select designees to attend Committee and subcommittee meetings, as is currently allowed for Committee members serving by virtue of position. This change does not apply to meetings of the Retiree Healthcare Benefits Advisory Subcommittee. The authority that appointed the member must approve the appointed member’s proposed designee and the appointed member must provide that written approval to the Committee chair or subcommittee chair, as applicable. This Act also removes the State Treasurer as a member of the Committee. This Act also makes the Controller General a voting member of the Committee. This Act also adds the Chair of the Delaware Health Care Commission to the Committee and designates that individual as the Chair of the Committee. This Act also makes the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, who currently chairs the Committee, a regular voting member. This Act clarifies that proposal review committees are subcommittees and clarifies that the membership or attendance of a quorum of Committee members on or at a subcommittee meeting does not constitute a meeting of the Committee. The Act requires that official action by a subcommittee requires a roll call vote.
