Summary — AB 583 (2025) — Public Employees’ Benefits Program (PEBP) subsidies (BDR S-1230)

Main purpose

AB 583 sets the State and local government subsidy amounts for health insurance premiums and Medicare-related reimbursements under Nevada’s Public Employees’ Benefits Program (PEBP) for the 2025–2027 biennium. It fixes per‑person monthly contribution levels for active employees and retired participants (including Medicare enrollees) for Fiscal Years 2025–2026 and 2026–2027.

Key provisions (by section)

  • State contribution for active employees (PEBP group plans; NRS 287.044 and 287.0445):

    • FY 2025–2026: $991 per month per active state officer/employee.
    • FY 2026–2027: $943 per month per active state officer/employee.
    • If the State’s set share exceeds the actual premium (less any employee share), the excess is credited to the Fund for the Public Employees’ Benefits Program (NRS 287.0435) for use toward other eligible participants’ premiums.

  • Retiree subsidies (NRS 287.023 and 287.046):

    • Base State/local monthly share for retired participants in PEBP group plans:
    • FY 2025–2026: $650 per month.
    • FY 2026–2027: $700 per month.
    • For retirees covered through an individual Medicare plan (Health Insurance for the Aged Act / Medicare):
    • Retirees who retired before Jan 1, 1994: $195 per month (both FYs).
    • Retirees who retired on/after Jan 1, 1994: $13 per month per year of service (up to 20 years), capped at $260 per month (both FYs).
    • Any excess of the set share over the actual premium is to be credited to the PEBP Fund.

  • Procedural/fiscal exceptions:

    • Allows a committee to vote on the act before expiration of the usual fiscal‑note return period (retroactive to May 2, 2025).
    • Declares the act effective July 1, 2025.
