Public employees and officers: compensation and benefits; regional airport authorities; include in the publicly funded health insurance contribution act. Amends sec. 2 of 2011 PA 152 (MCL 15.562).
SB 149 amends Michigan's Publicly Funded Health Insurance Contribution Act to update the definition of "public employer" to explicitly include regional airport authorities (as defined in the aeronautics code) and community colleges. This change requires these entities to contribute to the state's health insurance fund for their employees, as previously required of other public employers like school districts. The bill does not alter health benefits or costs but clarifies which organizations must comply with the act's contribution rules. It directly affects public employers such as community colleges, regional airport authorities, and other newly included entities.
