The bill would amend the Administrative Procedures Act (APA) to expand the definition of rule to include an agency's contract with a public or private entity. The bill also would exempt, for the first 12 months after the effective date of this legislation, the Tier 2 (defined contribution) plans in the State Employees Retirement Act, the Public School Employees Retirement Act, and the Michigan Legislative System Retirement Act from Chapters 2, 3, and 5 of the Administrative Procedures Act. Chapters 2, 3, and 5 would not apply to the establishment, implementation, administration, operation, investment, or distribution of a Tier 2 retirement plan established in each of these three retirement systems.

After the expiration of 12 months from the date of the bill’s implementation, any rules or guidelines promulgated or processed by the Tier 2 plans in any of the three systems would not be effective and binding unless promulgated and processed in accordance with the Administrative Procedures Act.
