summary
This amendment replaces the bill. The amendment authorizes the Director of the Bureau of General Services within the Department of Administrative and Financial Services to provide insurance services to public schools if those schools meet certain criteria under existing law. The criteria include an authorization by law, approval by the Governor, the unavailability or unaffordability of coverage in the commercial insurance market and a strong public need for the services. Notwithstanding those criteria, the amendment authorizes the director to provide insurance advice to public schools.
