(a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) of this section, and the provisions of any collective bargaining agreement, a municipality or a public school operator may join together with any combination of other municipalities and public school operators by written agreement as a single entity for the purpose of providing medical or health care benefits for their employees. Such written agreement shall establish the membership of such group, the duration of such benefits plan, requirements regarding payment for such benefits plan and the procedures for a municipality or public school operator to withdraw from such group and terminate such benefits plan. Such agreement shall not constitute a multiple employer welfare arrangement, as defined in Section 3 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended from time to time. Any group established pursuant to this section shall not be deemed a fictitious group. As used in this section, “municipality” means any town, city or borough, consolidated town and city, consolidated town and borough or any district, as defined in section 7-324; and “public school operator” means a local or regional board of education, a regional educational service center, the governing council of a state or local charter school, or an operator of an interdistrict magnet school program, as described in section 10-264l. (b) Before a municipality or a public school operator may enter into an agreement described in subsection (a) of this section, the legislative body of a municipality shall approve such an agreement in cases where: (1) There is an existing arrangement between a municipality and the public school operator serving such municipality for the provision of medical or health care benefits to the employees of both the municipality and the public school operator serving such municipality; or (2) a municipality and the public school operator serving such municipality have separate medical or health care benefits plans for their respective employees and both such benefits plans are paid for by the general fund of the municipality.
