The governing body of any municipal corporation in this state is hereby empowered and authorized to enter into insurance contracts for the protection and benefit of its employees and such insurance contracts may be in the form of group life insurance, salary saving, or retirement annuities. A municipal corporation entering into any such insurance contracts is authorized to deduct from the salary or wages of such employee protected by such insurance contract or contracts, his or her pro rata share of the cost of such insurance, and pay the premium for such insurance out of the funds so deducted.
Discretion is vested in the governing body to determine what particular class or group of employees shall be protected by such insurance contracts. Provided that when such class or group has been determined, no insurance contracts shall be made or entered into without the consent of at least sixty percent of such class or group.
