PERS; provide that state bear responsibility for county and municipal employer contributions over July 1, 2024, rate.

SB 2806 shifts responsibility for Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS) employer contributions from counties and municipalities to the state of Mississippi. It prevents local governments from paying employer contributions above the rate set for July 1, 2024, requiring the state to cover any additional costs. This applies to all counties and municipalities participating in Mississippi's PERS system, effectively freezing their contribution rate at the July 2024 level. The bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and was never enacted.
