Bill > HB6058

This bill amends the Publicly Funded Health Insurance Contribution Act by modifying the provisions related to public employer contributions to medical benefit plans for their employees and elected officials. The key changes are: 1. Starting in 2025, it sets new maximum contribution amounts for public employers of $8,258.54 for single-person coverage, $17,271.17 for individual-and-spouse or individual-plus-1-nonspouse-dependent coverage, and $22,523.34 for family coverage. These amounts will be adjusted annually based on changes in Michigan's health insurance rates or 3%, whichever is greater. 2. It requires public employers to pay at least 80% of the total annual costs of the medical benefit plans they offer or contribute to, starting in 2025. This provision includes exceptions for existing collective bargaining agreements that are inconsistent with the new requirements. 3. The bill also adds new sections 3a and 4a to the existing law to accommodate these changes, while retaining the previous provisions in sections 3 and 4 with some modifications.
