2021 New Hampshire Revised Statutes|Title I - The State and Its Government|Title 21-I - Department of Administrative Services|Section 21-I:100 - Purpose and Policy.

    21-I:100 Purpose and Policy. –||The purpose of this subdivision is to leverage the purchasing power and economies of scale available to the state when it is acting as purchaser on behalf of state employees and to align this purchasing initiative with a business tax incentive in order to make available to all other public and private employers in the state, on a voluntary basis, advantageously priced family and medical leave insurance (FMLI) wage replacement benefits. By purchasing FMLI coverage for state employees through the medium of commercial insurance, by linking that contract with a contract to make the same coverage available statewide, by acting as premium aggregator for individuals whose employers do not sponsor such coverage, and by introducing a new business tax incentive, the state will position itself to create a market for advantageously priced FMLI benefits. It is the intent of this subdivision to significantly increase the number of employees in the state who receive FMLI wage replacement benefits. The social benefits of increasing the rate of FMLI coverage include attracting and retaining workers, including younger workers, to the state, enabling parents to bond with biological, adopted, or foster children, helping to meet the needs of an aging population, promoting workplace stability, and enhancing worker retention and productivity. While many larger employers provide paid FMLI benefits through self-insurance, this is not feasible for most mid-sized and smaller businesses. The general court therefore finds that it is in the public interest for the state to strategically use its purchasing power and tax expenditure authority to establish a marketplace in the state for advantageously priced FMLI wage replacement benefits.|||Source. 2021, 91:464, eff.
