Sec. 34. (1) The reserve for health benefits is the account to which payments of reporting units for health benefits are credited. Benefits payable pursuant to section 91 1 shall be paid from the reserve for health benefits.The assets and any earnings on the assets contained in the reserve for health benefits and the health advance funding subaccount are not to be treated as pension assets for any purpose.
(2) The health advance funding subaccount is the account to which amounts transferred pursuant to section 41 2are credited. Except as otherwise provided in this section, any amounts received in the health advance funding subaccount and accumulated earnings on those amounts shall not be expended until the actuarial accrued liability for health benefits under section 91 is at least 100% funded. The department may expend funds or transfer funds to another account to expend for health benefits under section 91 if the actuarial accrued liability for health benefits under section 91 is at least 100% funded. For each fiscal year that begins after the first fiscal year in which the actuarial accrued liability for health benefits under section 91 is at least 100% funded by the health advance funding subaccount, the amounts may be expended or credited to fund health benefits provided under section 91 as provided in section 41(2).
(3) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, the department may transfer amounts from the health advance funding subaccount to the reserve for employer contributions established in section 30 3 if the department does both of the following:
(a) At least 45 days before the intended transfer, submits a request to the chairs of the senate and house appropriations committees and, at least 15 days before the intended transfer, obtains the approval of both the senate and house appropriations committees.
(b) Ensures that the request submitted to the senate and house appropriations committees contains an actuarial valuation prepared pursuant to section 41 that demonstrates that as of the beginning of a fiscal year, and after all credits and transfers required by this act for the previous fiscal year have been made, the sum of the actuarial value of assets and the actuarial present value of future normal cost contributions does not exceed the actuarial present value of benefits.
