HB 6139 Michigan House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Public employees and officers: compensation and benefits; cross-reference to publicly funded health insurance contribution act; eliminate. Amends sec. 4p of 1909 PA 279 (MCL 117.4p).

HB 6139 amends the Home Rule City Act to update pension and health insurance rules for large Michigan cities facing significant financial distress. Specifically, it targets cities with populations over 600,000 or those that have discharged over $1 billion in pension liabilities through bankruptcy. The bill establishes new limits on how much these cities can contribute to employee retirement accounts and health insurance plans for workers hired after July 1, 2023, while also clarifying how pension benefits are calculated for existing employees. Additionally, it requires these cities to submit annual compliance certifications to the Financial Review Commission starting in 2024. The legislation does not take effect unless a related bill regarding the state employees' retirement act is also passed.
