Section 22953 Of Part 6. State Employees' Dental Care Act From California Government Code >> Division 5. >> Title 2. >> Part 6.
22953
. (a) The state, through the Department of Human Resources,
the Trustees of the California State University, or the Regents of
the University of California may contract, upon negotiations with
employee organizations, with carriers for dental care plans for
employees, annuitants, and eligible family members, provided the
carriers have operated successfully in the area of dental care
benefits for a reasonable period or have a contract to provide a
health benefit plan pursuant to Section 22850. The dental care plans
may include a portion of the monthly premium to be paid by the
employee or annuitant. Dental care plans provided under this
authority may be self-funded by the employer if it is determined to
be cost effective.
(b) An employee or annuitant may enroll in a dental care plan provided by a carrier that also provides a health benefit plan pursuant to Section 22850 if the employee or annuitant is also enrolled in the health benefit plan provided by that carrier. However, nothing in this section may be construed to require an employee or annuitant to enroll in a dental care plan and a health benefit plan provided by the same carrier.
(c) No contract for a dental care plan may be entered into unless funds are appropriated by the Legislature in a subsequently enacted statute. If a dental care plan is self-funded, funds used for that plan shall be considered continuously appropriated, notwithstanding Section 13340.
(b) An employee or annuitant may enroll in a dental care plan provided by a carrier that also provides a health benefit plan pursuant to Section 22850 if the employee or annuitant is also enrolled in the health benefit plan provided by that carrier. However, nothing in this section may be construed to require an employee or annuitant to enroll in a dental care plan and a health benefit plan provided by the same carrier.
(c) No contract for a dental care plan may be entered into unless funds are appropriated by the Legislature in a subsequently enacted statute. If a dental care plan is self-funded, funds used for that plan shall be considered continuously appropriated, notwithstanding Section 13340.
