Join Us In Supporting HB 5247, An Act Concerning Employee Health Benefit Consortiums

YOUR VOICE MATTERS!

The Southington Regional Chamber of Commerce along with its counterparts across the state are are keeping a close watch on proposed legislation coming from the House during the 2024 session which began on January 7.

HB 5247: AAC Employee Health Benefit Consortiums.

HB 5247 would allow trade associations and qualifying Chambers of Commerce to pool their members together to purchase health insurance at a more cost effective and consistent rate.

This legislation is designed to level the insurance playing field by lowering the cost of health coverage for small businesses and their employees and improving the quality of that coverage.
