THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:

 

     Sec. 3. (1) Except as otherwise provided in this act, a public

 

employer that offers or contributes to a medical benefit plan for

 

its employees or elected public officials shall pay no more of the

 

annual costs or illustrative rate and any payments for

 

reimbursement of co-pays, deductibles, or payments into health

 

savings accounts, flexible spending accounts, or similar accounts

 

used for health care costs, than a total amount equal to $5,500.00

 

times the number of employees with single person coverage,

 

$11,000.00 times the number of employees with individual and spouse

 

coverage, plus $15,000.00 times the number of employees with family

 

coverage, for a medical benefit plan coverage year beginning on or

 

after January 1, 2012. A public employer may allocate its payments

 

for medical benefit plan costs among its employees and elected

 

public officials as it sees fit.

 

     (2) For a medical benefit plan coverage year beginning on or

 

after the effective date of the amendatory act that added this

 

subsection, the multiplier under subsection (1) shall be $13,455.00

 

for employees with individual and spouse coverage.

 

     (3) By October 1 of each year after 2011, the state treasurer

 

shall adjust the maximum payment permitted under this section for

 

each coverage category for medical benefit plan coverage years

 

beginning the succeeding calendar year, based on the change in the

 

medical care component of the United States consumer price index

 

for the most recent 12-month period for which data are available

 

from the United States department of labor, bureau of labor
