Municipal officers and employees participating in hospital or medical service group insurance may authorize the governing body of the municipality to deduct from their salaries premiums for such insurance, and pay the amount thereof to the service corporations. The governing body, by resolution, may authorize such deductions and provide for the said payments subject to such rules and regulations as the governing body may prescribe in the resolution.
No such resolution shall be deemed to impose any prospective liability or responsibility upon the municipality as to future deductions or payments.
