MI HB6086

County road agencies must annually certify compliance with transportation employee compensation requirements beginning September 30, 2014, including retirement plan caps (10% of base salary for social security-eligible employees, 16.2% for non-eligible employees) and defined benefit pension plan multipliers (1.5% to 3.0% depending on eligibility and health care provision).

County road agencies must post publicly accessible financial information including current budgets, active employee counts by classification and wage rate, financial performance dashboards, governing body contact information, and certification documents.

Department of Transportation may withhold Michigan Transportation Fund distributions to county road agencies that fail to submit required annual certifications regarding employee compensation and health benefit compliance.

Employee retirement and pension rights under existing law remain in full force and effect under optional unified forms of county government, with retirement systems subject to the Local Unit of Government Retirement Act.

Bill takes effect only if Senate Bill No. ____ or House Bill No. 6074 is enacted into law.
