(1)        Employee and dependent coverage under the State Health Plan for Teachers and State Employees.

(2)        Employee, survivors, and dependent coverage under the Teachers' and State Employees' Retirement System.

SECTION 3.  The Office of State Personnel shall submit to the General Assembly and to the Fiscal Research Division by December 31, 2009, a detailed written report on the development of the employee benefits statement, including a recommended implementation schedule and an estimate of the costs of any information technologies or modifications necessary to generate the statements.

SECTION 4.  This act is effective when it becomes law.
