HB 5674 Summary

  • Amends Michigan's Healthy Michigan program (Section 105d of the Social Welfare Act) to remove language requiring the program to be terminated if federal cost-sharing match falls below 100% and state savings cannot cover the reduction.

  • Removes outdated implementation deadlines and temporal language (such as "by January 1, 2014" and "by September 30, 2015") throughout the section, converting them to ongoing requirements without specific dates.

  • Maintains core program features including health savings accounts, cost-sharing requirements (up to 5% of income for individuals at 100-133% of federal poverty level), mandatory health plan enrollment, and performance incentive mechanisms for health plans.

  • Removes the requirement that the Department of Community Health not implement the program until receiving federal documentation guaranteeing no financial penalties if waivers are rejected.

  • Eliminates the entire former subsection (27) that conditioned program continuation on obtaining both federal waivers or automatic termination if federal match funding decreased below 100%.
