SB 7022 Florida Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Retirement

SB 7022 revises the required employer contribution rates for different employee groups within Florida's Retirement System. It adjusts how much public employers must pay into retirement funds based on specific membership classes and subclasses, such as different job types or service categories. The bill directly affects Florida state and local government employers who participate in the Florida Retirement System. This change modifies the financial obligations employers have toward employee retirement benefits without altering eligibility or benefit amounts.
