Miscellaneous Resolution # 87301
BY: General Government Committee, Richard G. Skarritt, Chairperson
IN RE: SUPPORT HOUSE BILL 4751 PERMITTING BOARDS OF COMMISSIONERS TO INCLUDE
DEPENDENTS OF DECEASED VESTED EMPLOYEES IN COUNTY PENSION PLANS
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, most public sector retirement programs including the Munic-
ipal Employees Retirement Act, the Michigan Employees Retirement Act and the
Michigan Public School Employees Retirement Act have a provision which allows
dependents of a deceased member to be eligible to receive the member's pension
benefits; and
WHEREAS, at the present time county retirement systems have no
statutory authority to include dependents of deceased vested employees; and
WHEREAS, House Bill 4751 would permit Boards of Commissioners to
include dependents of deceased vested employees in county pension plans; and
WHEREAS, the Michigan Association of Counties supports BB 4751,
saying the legislation would provide consistency with other public retirement
plans.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commis-
sioners takes a position supporting NB 4751.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be sent to
all legislators from Oakland County and to the county's legislative agent.
Mr. Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
