BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

New Jersey coalition seeks legislative relief from high health care premiums

Phil Murphy’s administration, local government leaders and labor unions in New Jersey are now turning to the state Legislature for relief from double-digit rate hikes on state health benefit plans, reports NJ.com. Premiums for local government workers are set to increase by 20% Jan. 1 after a state health board voted in September to approve the increases. A coalition of labor representatives and local government leaders on Dec. 12 unveiled a policy proposal that includes cost-saving measures and a one-time appropriation of $350 million to help offset the increases.
