HOUSE BILL No. 4275

 

February 17, 2009, Introduced by Rep. McMillin and referred to the Committee on Government Operations.

 

     A bill to apportion the state's expenses for the cost of

 

health benefits for state employees.

 

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:

 

     Sec. 1. This act shall be known and may be cited as the "state

 

employee health benefits cost apportionment act".

 

     Sec. 3. As used in this act:

 

     (a) "Health benefits" means employee medical, dental, or

 

optical insurance or coverage.

 

     (b) "State employee" means a classified or unclassified member

 

of the state civil service or an unclassified employee of the

 

executive, legislative, or judicial branch of this state's

 

government.

 

     Sec. 5. Except as provided in section 7, this state shall not

 

pay a higher percentage of the premium or other cost of health

 

benefits for each state employee than the average percentage paid

 

for state employees by all the states of the United States as

 

determined in the most recent survey published by the national

 

conference of state legislatures.

 

     Sec. 7. If a contract or collective bargaining agreement that

 

is inconsistent with section 5 is in effect for a group of state

 

employees before January 1, 2010, the requirements of section 5 do

 

not apply to that group of employees until the contract or

 

collective bargaining agreement expires. The requirements of

 

section 5 apply to any extension or renewal of the contract or

 

collective bargaining agreement that begins on or after January 1,

 

2010.

 

     Sec. 9. The requirements of section 5 apply to health benefits

 

provided to all state employees to the greatest extent consistent

 

with constitutionally allocated powers.

 

     Enacting section 1. This act takes effect January 1, 2010.
