&nbsp; Overview:<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Civil Service Commission has approved letters of understanding for certain bargaining units that would allow represented employees in the classified civil service who do not have an eligible spouse to enroll one unrelated adult and that adult's dependents in the State Health Plan, provided that certain criteria are met. The Commission also adopted a rule providing the same option to nonexclusively represented employees.<br />
