2006 House Bill 6694: Allow government borrowing to pay unfunded retiree benefits

Amendment offered by Sen. Gretchen Whitmer D- on December 14, 2006
To eliminate a requirement that before borrowing to cover retiree health care benefit liabilities a local government must "reduce" future health care costs (and liabilities), which would require greater co-pays from government employees, or going to a defined contribution plan for new employees. Instead, local governments would only have to "manage" health care costs.
The amendment failed 17 to 19 in the Senate on December 14, 2006.
