	(a)  Coverage of the spouse of an eligible state employee will be reduced to 30 percent under the commissioner's health plan obtained under AS 39.30.090 - 39.30.095, if the spouse is a state employee participating in a plan exempted under 2 AAC 39.900 and

	(b)  The coverage of the dependent children of an eligible state employee will be reduced to 30 percent under the commissioner's health plan obtained under AS 39.30.090 - 39.30.095 if the

			(B) reduces coverage for dependent children below 70 percent; or  
			(C) provides only catastrophic coverage; and  
		(2) plan exempted under 2 AAC 39.900 would have been the primary plan under 2 AAC 39.915 for the dependent children, had the employee selected a health plan option other than one listed in (1)(A) - (1)(C) of this subsection.
