STATE POLICE RETIREMENT: Provides for the funding of benefit increases for retirees, beneficiaries, and survivors of the Louisiana State Police Retirement System. (gov sig) (EN INCREASE FC SG RV)
SB 11 modifies the funding rules for the Louisiana State Police Retirement System to ensure stable benefits for retirees, beneficiaries, and survivors. It requires automatic increases in employer contributions (capped at 2.35%) if projected contributions decrease, effective July 1, 2024. The bill mandates these adjustments to cover benefit increases without needing new legislative action each year. Funding will come from additional employer contributions as specified in the state constitution.

MINOR
This bill converts the permanent benefit increase funding rate for the Louisiana State Police Retirement System from 2.5% to 3.5%. The change ensures that the rate automatically adjusts to cover benefit increases for retirees, beneficiaries, and survivors, guaranteeing that the funding level never falls below the new 3.5% threshold.
Scope change
The bill applies specifically to the Louisiana State Police Retirement System, maintaining the same scope but increasing the financial contribution requirement.
FISCAL
The minimum permanent benefit increase account funding contribution rate was raised from 2.5% to 3.5%.
REQUIREMENT
The automatic adjustment mechanism now triggers when the projected employer contribution rate drops, ensuring the AFC rate increases by the lesser of half the drop or the amount needed to reach the new 3.5% floor.
TECHNICAL
The document was updated from a draft version to the final enrolled Act No. 223, including signatures from the Senate President, House Speaker, and Governor.
