relative to payment by the state of a portion of retirement system contributions of political subdivision employers.
SB 20 proposed that the state pay a portion of retirement system contributions for political subdivision employers (like cities, towns, or school districts). This would directly affect local governments and their employees by reducing the employers' retirement costs. The bill's key mechanism would have required the state to cover a specified share of these employer contributions. However, the bill was tabled as "Inexpedient to Legislate" on October 31, 2025, meaning it did not advance further and was not enacted.
