(a) This act shall apply to any health benefit plan which
provides coverage to two (2) or more employees of a small
employer in this state if:
(i) Any portion of the premium or benefits is paid by
a small employer or if an eligible employee or dependent is
reimbursed, whether through wage adjustments or otherwise, by a
small employer for any portion of the premium; or
(ii) The health benefit plan is treated by the
employer or any of the eligible employees or dependents as part
of a plan or program for the purposes of section 162, section
125 or section 106 existing as of the effective date of this act
or similar sections subsequently enacted of the United States
Internal Revenue Code.
(b) Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this section, W.S.
26-19-305(a) and (c) and 26-19-304(a) shall not apply to
individual health benefit policies sold to small employers which
are subject to approval for policy form by the commissioner.
(c) A Taft-Hartley trust, or a carrier with the written
authorization of a Taft-Hartley trust may make a written request
to the commissioner for a waiver from the application of any of
the provisions of W.S. 26-19-304(a) with respect to a health
benefit plan provided to the trust. The commissioner may grant
the waiver if he finds that application of W.S. 26-19-304(a)
with respect to the trust would have a substantial adverse
effect on the participants and beneficiaries of the trust, and
would require significant modifications to one (1) or more
collectively bargained arrangement for which the trust is
established or maintained. A waiver granted under this
subsection shall not apply to an individual if the person
participates in the trust as an associate member of an employee
organization.
(d) This act shall apply to multiple employer welfare
arrangements, consistent with W.S. 26-19-115.
