OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

Amount of employer contribution.

- The statutory authority of the State Personnel Board and the Governor to set the employer contribution is no longer constrained by a percentage cap in general law. However, the authority is constrained by the health plan statute itself to require the board to set the contribution for the year within amounts made available by the appropriations act. 1989 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 89-3.

When the board sets the employer contribution, it must take into account the budget, which in June has been finalized by enactment of the new appropriations act. When the rate is set, employers in state government must pay it, but they know before the fiscal year commences that the rate will be, and it must be, consistent with the overall budget as set by the appropriations act. 1989 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 89-3.
