What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Currently, cities, villages, towns, counties, school districts, and technical

college districts (local governments), provide health care benefits for their

employees. Some also provide postretirement health care benefits for their

employees.

This bill prohibits a local government from providing health care benefits to any

employee hired on or after the bill's effective date for use upon the employee's

retirement unless the cost of the benefit is fully funded on an actuarial basis.
