Adds employees of the Minnesota FAIR plan and joint underwriting association as eligible groups to purchase coverage under the state employee group insurance program at their own expense.

Allows the board of the Minnesota FAIR plan to permit employees to participate in insurance plans administered by the commissioner of management and budget under chapter 43A.

Commissioner of Management and Budget may deny eligibility if it would cause the state employee group insurance program to lose its status as a governmental plan or result in treatment as a multiemployer welfare arrangement.

Makes conforming changes to Minnesota Statutes sections 43A.27, subdivision 2 and 65A.35, subdivision 5.
