Maryland: Laurel High School

As college and high school seniors graduate from schools across the state this spring, lawmakers are reminding them to take advantage of a new law that will allow many to stay on their parents' health insurance plan until they turn 25.

 The new law, which passed in the General Assembly last year and went into effect on Jan. 1, allows dependents to stay on their family's health insurance plans up to the age of 25 - regardless of whether or not they are full-time students.
