464. The council may make by-laws:
(1)  (subparagraph repealed);
(2)  (subparagraph repealed);
(3)  (subparagraph repealed);
(4)  (subparagraph repealed);
(5)  (subparagraph repealed);
(6)  (subparagraph repealed);
(7)  (subparagraph repealed);
(8)  to establish and maintain, on the conditions prescribed by the by-law, a pension plan for the benefit of the officers and employees of the municipality or to participate in such a plan; to make, for that purpose, if need be, any agreement with an insurer authorized under the Insurers Act (chapter A-32.1) or a trust company authorized under the Trust Companies and Savings Companies Act (chapter S-29.02) or with a legal person or government issuing life annuities; to grant subsidies for the establishment and maintenance of the plan; to fix the maximum age of the officers and employees and the contributions which they and the municipality must pay into the plan’s pension fund; to cause to be assumed by the municipality the contributions required to enable the officers and employees to be credited, for the purposes of the pension plan, with their previous years of service, and borrow the sums required for that purpose by the by-law creating or amending the plan.
A by-law passed under this subparagraph may establish classes of officers or employees and prescribe that the pension plan is restricted to a certain class or that separate plans are established for each class.
The council may, at the request of any mandatary body of the municipality or any supramunicipal body within the meaning of the Act respecting the Pension Plan of Elected Municipal Officers (chapter R-9.3) whose territory comprises that of the municipality, made by way of a resolution approved by the majority of the employees of the said body, include those employees within the scope of a by-law contemplated in the first paragraph. The body concerned shall deduct the employees’ contributive shares from their salary or remuneration and shall pay them to the municipality at the same time as its own contributive share. The by-law by which the council integrates the employees of the body must specify the terms and conditions of the integration.
A by-law establishing a pension plan requires only the approval of the majority of the officers and employees referred to in the by-law even if the by-law prescribes a loan. Such approval may, in respect of the officers and employees represented by a certified association, be given by the association. However, no approval is required in the case of an amendment to the by-law for the purpose of enhancing benefits, which enhancement is paid out of a stabilization fund established under the Supplemental Pension Plans Act (chapter R-15.1), or refunding contributions paid into such a fund.
The Supplemental Pension Plans Act applies to a pension plan referred to in this subparagraph, except where the plan is referred to in section 2 of that Act. Every by-law to establish or amend a pension plan may have effect retroactively to the first effective date of the pension plan or any amendment to it under the Supplemental Pension Plans Act;
(9)  (subparagraph repealed);
(10)  to take out insurance policies on the lives of all the officers and employees of the municipality or of any special class of officers or employees which the by-law determines, under the system known as “group insurance”, and pay the whole or part of the premium required, out of the general funds of the municipality; to pay, in whole or in part, on behalf of the officers and employees of the municipality, out of the general funds of the municipality, the premium required for any group insurance plan respecting medical, surgical and hospital costs for them and their dependents; to pay, in whole or in part, out of the general funds of the municipality, for and on behalf of the officers and employees of the municipality, the premium required for any sickness or disability group salary insurance plan.
The council may, at the request of any mandatary body of the municipality or any supramunicipal body within the meaning of the Act respecting the Pension Plan of Elected Municipal Officers whose territory comprises that of the municipality, include the employees of the body within the scope of a by-law contemplated in the first paragraph. The body concerned shall deduct the employees’ contributive shares of the cost of the premium from their salary or remuneration and shall pay them to the municipality at the same time as its own contributive share. The by-law by which the council integrates the employees of the body must specify the terms and conditions of the integration.
The council may, by by-law, take out liability insurance for the benefit of its officers and employees.
The members of the council, as long as they remain in office, may participate in the group insurance and liability insurance taken out by the council under this subparagraph, on the same conditions as those applicable to the officers and employees mentioned in the subparagraph. However, the council may exercise the powers provided for in the first and third paragraphs in respect of the members of the council exclusively provided there are officers or employees of the municipality who also benefit from the same type of insurance contract.
The council may, by by-law, authorize any person having been a member of the council of the municipality during any period that the by-law determines, and receiving a retirement pension under a plan in which the members of the council of the municipality were members, to participate in the group insurance taken out by the municipality. The member shall pay the entire amount of the premium.
Every by-law adopted under this subparagraph may have effect retroactively to the effective date of the insurance policy or the amendment to it, as the case may be;
(10.1)  to enable it to participate, for the benefit of its officers and employees or the members of the council, in the type of insurance contract referred to in the first or third paragraph of subparagraph 10 of the first paragraph, for which the policyholder is the Union des municipalités du Québec or the Fédération québécoise des municipalités locales et régionales (FQM); such participation may only cover the members of the council provided there are officers or employees of the municipality who also benefit from the same type of insurance contract; the by-law establishes the rules governing the proportion of the premium paid by the municipality.
The council may exercise the powers provided for in the second, fifth and sixth paragraphs of subparagraph 10 of the first paragraph in respect of a by-law passed under this subparagraph, with the necessary modifications.
The rules governing the awarding of contracts by a municipality apply to a contract referred to in the first paragraph taken out with an insurer by the Union or the Federation. However, the contract is only subject to the by-law on contract management described in section 573.3.1.2 that must be adopted by the Union or the Federation for that purpose.
A municipality may also, in accordance with the first and second paragraphs, participate in a contract already taken out with an insurer by the Union or the Federation if such participation was provided for in the call for tenders made by the Union or the Federation and all tenderers are treated equally;
(11)  to provide for the redemption of the number of sick days accumulated by the employees and officers of the municipality.
However, the council may exercise its powers under subparagraphs 8, 10, 10.1 and 11 of the first paragraph by resolution.
