Gov. Rick Snyder says he'll sign a bill preventing public employers from offering health-care benefits to domestic partners - but only if he's sure university employees are excluded from the ban.

There's some confusion over the ban, which moved through the state House on Thursday a day after Senators approved the bill, striking language that specifically included university employees.

But Republican House leaders said after ban passed 63-45 that workers at the state's 15 public universities would in fact be prohibited from extending the benefits to same-sex and domestic partners.

Snyder spokeswoman Sara Wurfel said the governor's work and understanding on the bill is that public university employees would not not included - hinting at a veto if a review proves otherwise.
