Sec. 3. 
		
		Any local governmental agency, unless otherwise provided in any
statute specifically creating or governing any such agency, may provide
for the benefit of its employees, elected or appointed officials and
retired former employees life or group life, health, accident, hospital
and medical insurance, or any combination of such types of insurance.
Such insurance may include provision for employees, elected or appointed
officials and former employees 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 corporate
authority of such agency may provide for payment by such agency of a
portion of the premium or charge for such insurance for these persons
with these persons paying the balance of such premium charge. However,
the portion to be paid by the agency shall not exceed 30% of an elected
official's salary from that governmental unit for that premium period,
or if paid on a per diem basis, for the previous premium period. There
shall be no limit to the portion paid by the agency for full-time
elected officials. For purposes of this Section, a full-time elected
official is one who works 20 hours or more per week. Notwithstanding the
preceding provisions, there shall be no limit to the portion paid by a
township for a trustee of the township.  If such corporate
authority undertakes a plan whereunder the local governmental agency
pays a portion of such premium or charge, the corporate authority of
such agency shall provide for the withholding and deducting from the
compensation of such persons as consent to joining such plan, the
balance of the premium or charge for such insurance.
If the local governmental agency does not provide for a plan pursuant
to which such agency pays a portion of the premium or charge for any
group insurance plan, the corporate authority of such agency may provide
for the withholding and deducting from the compensation of such persons
as consent thereto, and the governing authority of any retirement system
covering employees or elected or appointed officials of a local
governmental agency may provide for the withholding and deducting from
retirement benefits of such former persons as consent thereto, the
premium or charge for any life or group life, health, accident, hospital
and medical insurance.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Act, nothing in this
Section shall apply to any municipality or county.
