HOUSE BILL No. 5570

November 3, 2009, Introduced by Rep. Miller and referred to the Committee on Labor.

A bill to amend 1973 PA 139, entitled

"An act to provide forms of county government; to provide for

county managers and county executives and to prescribe their powers

and duties; to abolish certain departments, boards, commissions,

and authorities; to provide for transfer of certain powers and

functions; to prescribe powers of a board of county commissioners

and elected officials; to provide organization of administrative

functions; to transfer property; to retain ordinances and laws not

inconsistent with this act; to provide methods for abolition of a

unified form of county government; and to prescribe penalties and

provide remedies,"

by amending sections 17 and 22 (MCL 45.567 and 45.572).

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:

Sec. 17. (1) The board of county commissioners shall continue,

without diminution of function or authority, any board previously

established to administer employee retirement and pension programs

or may create a retirement board if none exists. A retirement board

may invest or reinvest the ~~moneys thereof~~ employee retirement and

pension program money.

(2) Notwithstanding anything in this act to the contrary, no

pension paid under this section shall be paid with a pension amount

calculated that is based on a salary that includes overtime pay at

the time the pension is calculated. This subsection does not modify

terms relating to a pension granted under the authority of this act

under which a recipient of the pension retired before the effective

date of the amendatory act that added this subsection. If a

collective bargaining agreement or other binding agreement is in

effect on the effective date of the amendatory act that added this

subsection and the collective bargaining agreement or other binding

agreement affects a pension granted under this act, the pension

shall be administered in accordance with the collective bargaining

agreement or other binding agreement until the expiration of the

collective bargaining agreement or other binding agreement if there

is a conflict between this subsection and the collective bargaining

agreement or other binding agreement.

Sec. 22. (1) Under an optional unified form of county

government all retirement and pension rights of employees provided

by existing law remain in full force and effect.
