HB 29 Louisiana House · 2025 Regular Session

RETIREMENT/LOCAL: Provides relative to the minimum pension for the New Orleans Firefighters' Pension and Relief Fund (OR NO IMPACT APV)

HB 29 sets a minimum monthly pension of $1,200 for retired New Orleans firefighters and their surviving spouses, regardless of other pension calculations. It specifically protects active firefighters by prohibiting any increase in their required contributions to the fund due to this change. The bill amends Louisiana law to guarantee this minimum benefit level for the New Orleans Firefighters' Pension and Relief Fund. This is a straightforward policy change affecting only the specified pension fund, with no broader implications for other retirement systems.
