Sec. 7-459c. Retiree group health insurance benefits. Restriction on diminishment or elimination. Notwithstanding any provision of the general statutes or special

insurance benefits to a retiree of the municipality or subdivision as of June 2, 2006, shall

equivalent to the benefits previously provided by such municipality or subdivision to
such retiree, unless such retiree, as of the effective date of such employee's retirement,
is covered by a collective bargaining agreement, negotiated in accordance with the provisions of sections 7-467 to 7-477, inclusive, with a provision specifying that such retiree
is entitled to the same health insurance benefits provided to active employees of the
municipality as a result of collective bargaining.(P.A. 06-123, S. 1.)
