     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 1 or more 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 an employee

 

covered by that contract 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, 27, 2011 shall not include

 

terms that are inconsistent with the requirements of sections 3 and

 

4.

 

     Enacting section 1. This amendatory act clarifies the original

 

intent of the legislature that September 27, 2011 is the date on

 

and after which a new contract must comply with this act. This

 

amendatory act is curative and applies retroactively.
