MI SB1129

Modifies public employer contribution requirements for medical benefit plans, adding a new section 4a effective January 1, 2025, requiring public employers to pay not less than 80% of total annual medical benefit plan costs.

Current law (section 4) allows public employers to elect to pay not more than 80% of total annual costs; the amendment clarifies what costs are included and excluded from this calculation, specifically excluding offers based on the Affordable Care Act and federal or state taxes.

Exempts employees covered by collective bargaining agreements or other contracts in effect on the effective date of this amendment from section 4a requirements until the contract expires, with expenditures under such contracts excluded from payment calculations.

Requires that collective bargaining agreements or other contracts executed on or after January 1, 2025 must comply with section 4a requirements regarding employer contributions to medical benefit plans.

Bill is contingent upon enactment of Senate Bill No. 1130 of the 102nd Legislature.
