(a) Retiree health care, if offered, shall be prefunded. As used in this subdivision, “prefunded” means qualified units must amortize the unfunded actuarial accrued liability of the retiree health care system over a maximum closed period as determined by the uniform actuarial assumptions of retirement systems published as of December 31, 2021 by the state treasurer under the protecting local government retirement and benefits act, 2017 PA 202, MCL 38.2801 to 38.2812.
