Summary

Session
Regular Session 2017
Title
Employees' Retirement System, state law enforcement officers, separate calculation for employer contribution to Pension Accumulation Fund removed, Sec. 36-27-24 am'd.
Summary

HB377 ends the separate employer contribution rate calculation for state policemen to the Pension Accumulation Fund and makes their contributions the same as other employees.

What This Bill Does

The bill amends Section 36-27-24 to remove the rule that required a separate employer contribution percentage for state policemen to the Pension Accumulation Fund. After passage, state policemen’s Pension Accumulation Fund contributions will be based on the same normal and accrued liability contribution rates as other members, determined by actuarial valuations. It does not change contributions to the Annuity Savings Fund (policemen would still have a 10% contribution rate there). The changes affect how the Pension Accumulation Fund is funded, aligning policemen with other employees.

Who It Affects
  • State law enforcement officers (policemen): their employer contributions to the Pension Accumulation Fund will no longer be calculated separately and will follow the same standard rates as other employees.
  • Employers and the Employees' Retirement System: will apply the standard actuarially determined rates for all members, including policemen, instead of a separate policemen-specific rate.
Key Provisions
  • Amends Section 36-27-24 to remove the separate calculation of employer contribution percentage rates to the Pension Accumulation Fund for state policemen.
  • State policemen’s Pension Accumulation Fund contributions will be calculated using the same normal and accrued liability contribution rates as other members, based on annual actuarial valuations.
  • Maintains existing treatment of Annuity Savings Fund contributions for state policemen, including the 10% rate for policemen, unchanged by this act.
  • Effective date: the act becomes law on the first day of the third month after passage.
