    AI summary This amendment replaces the entire bill with a new version that defines which state employees qualify for health insurance continuation for their families. It specifies that coverage is not required if the death was caused by stress, illness, intentional misconduct, intoxication, or gross negligence, unless a traumatic injury was a main factor. It also adds that the state is not required to pay for the insurance costs and that the law applies retroactively to January 1, 2024.
