§ 8-27-101. “Committees” defined — Administrative duties of division of benefits administration — Promulgation of rules.

As used in this part, “committees” means the state insurance committee created in § 8-27-201, the local education insurance committee created in § 8-27-301, and the local government insurance committee created in § 8-27-701. The division of benefits administration of the department of finance and administration shall serve as staff to the committees. The committees may delegate administrative duties to the division of benefits administration, subject to the requirements of this chapter and the plan documents approved by the committees. These duties include, but are not limited to, the procurement functions described in § 8-27-103; provided, that all contracts are approved by the committees. The committees, acting collectively or individually, may promulgate rules and regulations under the Uniform Administrative Procedures Act, compiled in title 4, chapter 5, concerning the operations of the plans under their jurisdiction. Acts 2015, ch. 426, § 1. Code Commission Notes. Acts 2015, ch. 480, § 1 purported to amend this section. However, the amendment failed to account for the repeal and reenactment of part 2 of this chapter by Acts 2015, ch. 426. The language amended by Acts 2015, ch. 480, § 1 now appears in § 8-27-201 as repealed and reenacted by Acts 2015, ch. 425 and, thus, the amendment has been made to that section by authority of the Code Commission.
