HOUSE BILL No. 5981

 

October 17, 2012, Introduced by Rep. Hughes and referred to the Committee on Oversight, Reform, and Ethics.

 

     A bill to amend 2011 PA 152, entitled

 

"Publicly funded health insurance contribution act,"

 

by amending section 5 (MCL 15.565).

 

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:

 

     Sec. 5. (1) If a collective bargaining agreement or other

 

contract that is inconsistent with sections 3 and 4 is in effect

 

for a group of employees of a public employer on the effective date

 

of this act, September 27, 2011, the requirements of section 3 or 4

 

do not apply to that group of employees until the contract expires.

 

A public employer's expenditures for medical benefit plans under a

 

collective bargaining agreement or other contract described in this

 

subsection shall be excluded from calculation of the public

 

employer's maximum payment under section 4. The requirements of

 

sections 3 and 4 apply to any extension or renewal of the contract.

 

     (2) A collective bargaining agreement or other contract that

 

is executed on or after September 15, 2011 shall not include terms

 

that are inconsistent with the requirements of sections 3 and 4.

 

     (3) Notwithstanding subsection (2), if a public employer and a

 

group of employees of the public employer agree to modify a

 

collective bargaining agreement or other contract that qualifies

 

for delayed application of sections 3 and 4 under subsection (1),

 

the requirements of sections 3 and 4 do not apply to the modified

 

bargaining agreement or contract until the expiration date of the

 

original bargaining agreement or contract. An extension or renewal

 

of the original bargaining agreement or contract after September

 

15, 2011 does not extend the date at which sections 3 and 4 apply

 

to the modified bargaining agreement or contract.
