Public employees and officers: compensation and benefits; public employer contribution to medical benefit plan; modify. Amends sec. 4 of 2011 PA 152 (MCL 15.564).
This bill modifies Michigan's rules for how public employers contribute to medical benefit plans for their employees and elected officials. It establishes a minimum contribution requirement of 80% of total annual plan costs for coverage years starting on or after January 1, 2025, while allowing employers to choose a lower contribution rate for earlier years. The legislation also updates collective bargaining agreements to ensure they align with these new contribution standards, with existing contracts being allowed to continue until their expiration dates.
