HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT – PA 152 EXEMPTION FOR CALENDAR YEAR 2013
PA 152 of 2011, the “Publically Funded Health Insurance Contribution Act” sets forth various options that public
employers may follow when providing healthcare benefits to their eligible employees. The County exercised its
legal right to exempt itself from the Act’s cap and/or formula limitations for calendar year 2012. The County
Executive recommends that Oakland County again formally exercise its legal right to exempt itself from the Act’s
limitations for calendar year 2013 f or several reasons: to allow the County to continue making changes over time
that yield significant reductions in health care costs in a manner fair to both taxpayers and employees, the fact that
the County is self-insured, and an additional reason is the Act fails to provide a mechanism that would allow
Oakland County officials to exercise their required due diligence by adopting a fiscal year 2013 budget only after
knowing what the cap target allowed by law will be. The County’s fiscal year begins October 1st. Under Act 152 the
Michigan Treasurer is not required to adjust the maximum payment permitted for each coverage category for
medical benefit plan coverage until October 1st. The County Executive will be proposing to make cost -controlling
changes to employee healthcare plans for calendar year 2013.
Zack moved approval of the attached suggested resolution. Supported by Covey.
Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote.
