2011 Senate Bill 683: Pre-fund (optional) state retiree health benefits (House Roll Call 111)
Passed 109 to 0 in the House on March 13, 2012, to appropriate $250.9 million to "pre-fund" optional post-retirement health insurance benefits the legislature has chosen to give state government retirees. Under current law, these benefits are paid each year out of regular state government revenue. Unlike pensions, the Supreme Court has ruled these are not "accrued benefits" and so may be eliminated or cut at any time; former employees who get them are still eligible for Medicare at age 65.
