Group insurance.
In addition to any powers that it may
exercise under the Government Salary Withholding Act, the township board may
provide, for the benefit of the township's employees, officials,
or retired officials and their
dependents, group life, health, accident, hospital, or dental insurance or any
combination of those types of insurance. The insurance may include provision
for employees, officials, retired officials, and their dependents who rely
on treatment by prayer
or spiritual means alone for healing in accordance with the tenets and practice
of a well recognized religious denomination. The township board may provide
for payment by the township of all or a portion of the premium or charge for
the insurance for covered persons, except that the township may not pay all
or a portion of the premium or charge for the insurance for retired
officials and their dependents. If the township board undertakes a plan
under which the township does not pay the entire amount of premiums or charges
for the insurance, the board may provide for withholding and deducting from the
compensation of its employees or officers amounts required to pay the
balance of the premiums or charges.
