MINOR

The bill was revised from a single-version introduction to a committee substitute that expands its scope to repeal two separate statutes instead of one. The committee version also reorganizes the bill to cover two distinct sections (104.1091 and 105.915) and adds specific language clarifying that vested former members cannot request early retirement refunds if their benefits are subject to a court-ordered division.

Scope change

The bill's scope expanded from repealing only section 104.1091 to repealing both sections 104.1091 and 105.915, and the text was restructured to address two new sections rather than one.

SCOPE

The bill now targets two repealed statutes (104.1091 and 105.915) instead of just one, and the header was updated to reflect Senate Bills Nos. 1557 & 1054.

REQUIREMENT

A new sentence was added clarifying that a vested former member who terminated employment before reaching early retirement age is not eligible for early retirement.

The refund request provision was updated to explicitly state that a member cannot request a refund if their retirement benefit is subject to a division of benefit order pursuant to section 104.1051.
