Township adopts resolution exempting itself from PA 152 cap on health spending
Summary
Facing higher benefit costs, the board adopted Resolution No. 2025-16 to exempt Bath Charter Township from the state's public act on health-insurance spending caps; staff said the exemption will be revisited if employee cost-sharing changes.
Trustees adopted Resolution No. 2025-16 to exempt Bath Charter Township from the Michigan Publicly Funded Health Insurance Contribution Act (often called PA 152) after staff explained rising benefit costs required the exemption for budgeting and auditing purposes. Superintendent Karen explained the resolution is "the vehicle for us to do that" and that auditors expect the action as part of the budget process.
Karen noted the act contemplates an 80/20 cost-share calculation in some contexts and said the township will recalculate whether it must continue to opt out if employee cost-sharing were to change. The resolution passed on a roll-call vote.
