HB 1286 allows South Dakota municipalities to pay a larger share of health insurance premiums for their police officers, firefighters, and retired employees than they currently can under state law. This gives cities and towns more flexibility in how much they contribute toward employee and retiree insurance costs. The change removes or raises the cap on municipal insurance contributions for these specific groups of workers.
