HB 1986 formalizes a 2% annual benefit increase for retirees in several Oklahoma public retirement systems, effective July 1, 2025. It directly affects retirees from the Oklahoma Firefighters, Police, Law Enforcement, Teachers', and Public Employees Retirement Systems, as well as judges. The bill specifies exact dollar amounts per year of service (ranging from $7.68 to $7.99) based on prior benefit adjustments, while offsetting any existing increases from repealed provisions. This codifies existing benefit changes into law without creating new programs, with implementation set for November 1, 2025.
