One public comment was received in response to the first Notice of Emergency Rule Making. The comment asserts that the proposed rule is contrary to Civil Service Law section 167 regarding health insurance premium contributions by retirees and the subject of the emergency rule was not specifically addressed in the Sponsor's Memorandum to Chapter 491 of the Laws of the 2011. The Department of Civil Service concludes that the subject rule is required for full compliance with Chapter 491 of the Laws of 2011 and is necessary for the administration of the New York State Health Insurance Program.
