THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:
Sec.
4. (1) By Except as
provided in subsection (3), by a
majority vote of its governing body each year, prior to the
beginning of the medical benefit plan coverage year, a public
employer, excluding this state, may elect to comply with this
section for a medical benefit plan coverage year instead of the
requirements in section 3. The designated state official may elect
to comply with this section instead of section 3 as to medical
benefit plans for state employees and state officers.
(2) For medical benefit plan coverage years beginning on or
after January 1, 2012, a public employer shall pay not more than
80% of the total annual costs of all of the medical benefit plans
it offers or contributes to for its employees and elected public
officials. For purposes of this subsection, total annual costs
includes the premium or illustrative rate of the medical benefit
plan and all employer payments for reimbursement of co-pays,
deductibles, and payments into health savings accounts, flexible
spending accounts, or similar accounts used for health care but
does not include beneficiary-paid copayments, coinsurance,
deductibles, other out-of-pocket expenses, other service-related
fees that are assessed to the coverage beneficiary, or beneficiary
payments into health savings accounts, flexible spending accounts,
or similar accounts used for health care. For purposes of this
section, each elected public official who participates in a medical
benefit plan offered by a public employer shall be required to pay
20% or more of the total annual costs of that plan. The public
employer may allocate the employees' share of total annual costs of
the medical benefit plans among the employees of the public
employer as it sees fit.
(3) For medical benefit plan coverage years beginning on or
after January 1, 2019, a public employer that is a school district,
public school academy, or intermediate school district shall comply
with subsection (2) for the medical benefit plans it offers or
contributes to for its employees and elected public officials. As
used in this subsection:
(a) "Intermediate school district" means that term as defined
in section 4 of the revised school code, 1976 PA 451, MCL 380.4.
(b) "Public school academy" means that term as defined in
section 5 of the revised school code, 1976 PA 451, MCL 380.5.
