SEC. 12.203. HEALTH SERVICE SYSTEM FUND.
§ 12.203
The Health Service System fund is a trust fund managed by the Health Service Board that exists solely to benefit active and retired members of the Health Service System and their covered dependents. The City and County, School District, and Community College District must each contribute enough money to the fund to cover efficient administration of the system.
A special fund holds money for health benefits for city employees and school workers (and their families). The Health Service Board oversees this fund. The city, schools, and community college each have to put money into it—enough to keep the health benefits program running smoothly.
- Complex:The section references 'this Charter' and the Health Service Board's role without defining these terms or explaining the relationship between the fund, the board, and the contribution requirements in detail.
- Could be simpler:The phrase 'amounts sufficient to efficiently administer' is vague; clearer language could specify whether this means covering actual costs, a percentage of payroll, or another metric.
