FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
The Joint Committee on Public Employee Retirement (JCPER) has reviewed this
proposal and has determined an actuarial study is not needed under the
provisions of section 105.660, subdivision (5).
Officials of the Public School Retirement System (PSRS) assume that this
legislation would have no fiscal impact on the system since it represents
what current and past practice has been in determining members' salaries.

DESCRIPTION
This legislation would define "salary" for the purposes of retirement
benefits in the public school retirement system and include employer paid
medical benefits in that definition. It would also provide that the system
not refund or adjust contributions or benefit determinations for any period
prior to its effective date solely because of the treatment of employer paid
medical benefits for members.
The legislation has an emergency clause and is to be effective upon passage
and approval.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other
program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental
space.
