  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Subdivision 1 of section 369-ff of the social services law,
as  added  by  chapter  95  of  the  laws of 2007, is amended to read as
follows:
  1. (a) An employer or [Taft-Hartley fund] OTHER DESIGNATED SPONSOR may
elect to offer family health plus insurance  plans  approved  under  the
family  health  plus  program  to  all  employees  or members and family
members of employees or members. If an employer or  [Taft-Hartley  fund]
OTHER  DESIGNATED  SPONSOR chooses to offer family health plus insurance
plans, the employer or  [Taft-Hartley  fund]  OTHER  DESIGNATED  SPONSOR
shall  pay  to  the commissioner or the commissioner's designee a sum of
money equal to at least seventy percent of the premium or a fixed dollar
amount, as determined by the commissioner, applicable to each  enrolling
employee  or  member. Each employee or member who enrolls shall, through
the employer or [Taft-Hartley fund] OTHER DESIGNATED SPONSOR, pay to the
commissioner or the commissioner's designee the balance of the  premium.
If  the  employee's  or  member's share of the premium is covered by the
employer sponsored health coverage or premium  assistance  programs  set
forth  in  this  title,  title eleven of this article, or title one-A of
article twenty-five of the public health law,  then  the  employee's  or
member's share of the premium shall be paid under such program. Notwith-
standing  any  provision of law, rule or regulation to the contrary, the
commissioner may, for children under  the  age  of  twenty-one,  require
family  health  plus insurance plans to cover all benefits covered under
title one-A of article twenty-five of the public health law.
