FISCAL ANALYSIS

ASSUMPTION

Officials of the Joint Committee on Public Employee Retirement have reviewed this proposal and have determined that it does not represent a "substantial proposed change" in future plan benefits as defined in section 105.660(5), RSMo. Therefore, an actuarial cost statement would not be required.

Officials of the Office of Administration assumes that any fiscal impact would be determined by the Public School Retirement System.

Public School Retirement System officials indicate that the provisions in the proposal do not appear to create a "substantial proposed change" in benefits.

FISCAL IMPACT - Small Business

DESCRIPTION

The proposal modifies several provisions affecting both the teachers' and nonteachers' retirement systems within the Public School Retirement System. It would specify that independent contractors are not employees for retirement purposes, as well as modify reinstatement provisions, purchasing membership service provisions, military service purchase provisions, and provisions governing purchase of service between the two systems when service credit was forfeited. For the teachers' system only, it would remove a provision allowing certificated employees to purchase credit for service on a pro rata basis. For the nonteachers' system only, it would provide a level income option.

DESCRIPTION (continued)

This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
