County commissioners authorized to participate in health care savings plan.

This bill allows county commissioners in Minnesota to join the state's health care savings plan, which helps cover medical expenses after they leave public service. Under the new rules, commissioners who choose to participate must have their pay reduced during their term to match the county's contribution to the plan, and they must notify the county within 30 days of how much they will contribute. The plan keeps separate accounts for each participant's contributions and earnings, with limited investment options available through the executive director. This change does not require counties to negotiate with unions about these contributions and does not create new funding obligations for retiree health care costs.
