Missouri Revised Statutes Title VIII. Public Officers and Employees, Bonds and Records § 104.1081. Life insurance and disability benefit programs established--board rules

1. Each board shall establish and implement life insurance and disability benefit programs as provided in the year 2000 plan. Each board shall establish rules of eligibility for participation in the programs and shall avoid duplication of benefits provided to employees, their spouses and children under any other program of benefits provided through, or as a result of, employment with a department, any other employer, or any plan established by the federal government. No member shall receive benefits until such program shall become operative and until any premium amounts required by each board have been paid. To the extent any benefits provided under this program are insured, the selection of any insurance company or service organization shall be on the basis of competitive bidding.

2. The life insurance provisions of section 104.1072 shall not apply to members who are employed by any department which has in effect a program of life insurance which is wholly or partially paid by the employing department.
