Introduced
by
To increase the amount that school districts and local governments can spend on employee health insurance fringe benefits. The bill amends a <a href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/2011-SB-7">2011 law</a> that (with some exceptions) required employees to contribute at least 20 percent of these benefits’ cost, or alternatively, capped the employer’s costs through a formula that adds up the aggregate amount spent on coverage for individual, individual-plus-spouse, and family plan policies.<br> The bill raises the maximum individual-with-spouse benefits cost in this formula from $11,000 to $13,445 (a 22 percent increase), which would have the effect of raising the maximum spending allowed for all employees. It is co-sponsored by Republican Senators Nofs, Hansen, Marleau, Pappageorge and Jansen.
