New plan includes domestic partners
Douglas County employees now have domestic partner benefits under a new plan passed by the County Commission Wednesday.
Sarah Plinsky, assistant county administrator, analyzed the plan and estimated that five to 10 employees would use domestic partner insurance coverage, but specified that it was only a guess.
"Given the personal nature of the subject, it is inappropriate for staff to survey employees to get a better understanding of how many employees choose to utilize this coverage." Plinsky wrote.
Plinsky also wrote that legal challenges to domestic partner benefits were likely to fail as long as beneficiaries are not required to be of the same sex. In addition, her analysis found that the benefits would likely not be a violation of a 2006 Kansas constitutional amendment that defined marriage as between a man and a woman.
