MI HB5924

Repeals Section 3 of the Publicly Funded Health Insurance Contribution Act, which previously established a dollar cap on public employer health insurance contributions.

Replaces the dollar cap with a percentage-based requirement that public employers pay no more than 80% of total annual medical benefit plan costs for employees and elected public officials, effective March 1, 2017.

Defines "total annual costs" to include premiums, co-pays, deductibles, and health savings account contributions, but excludes employee out-of-pocket expenses and beneficiary payments.

Exempts existing collective bargaining agreements in effect on March 1, 2017 from compliance until contract expiration, but requires new agreements executed on or after that date to comply with the 80% cap.

Applies the contribution limits to all public employees and elected officials of state agencies, local units of government, school districts, community colleges, and public universities to the extent constitutionally permitted.
