Retirement Revaluation

House Bill 4766

Sponsor:  Rep. L. Gonzales

Committee:  Appropriations

First Analysis: As Reported (05/16/2007)

BRIEF SUMMARY:

                        Consistent with Executive Order 2007-3, this bill amends the Retirement Investment Act that affects FY 2006-07 employer contributions for both the State Employees Retirement System (SERS) and the State Police Retirement System (SPRS).

                        It allows for a one-time actuarial revaluation of each system's assets to their actual market value as of September 30, 2006 instead of doing a five year smoothed valuation.  The five year smoothing would begin again in FY 2007-08.

FISCAL IMPACT:

            The state's contractual actuary has determined that the reduced employer contributions resulting from this one-time asset revaluation change will reduce gross employer contributions by $69.5 million (of which $37.2 million is GF/GP).
