SB 217 - Under the provisions of this act, any Administrative Law Judge or Legal Advisor who is originally employed as such on or after January 1, 2006 will no longer be eligible to participate in the Administrative Law Judge and Legal Advisor's Retirement System. Instead, such persons will be covered under the state employees' retirement system. However, no Administrative Law Judge or Legal Advisor who is employed before January 1, 2006, or who has retired before that date will be affected by this act. The liabilities and assets of the Administrative Law Judge's and Legal Advisor's retirement system are transferred and combined with the state employees' retirement system. The contribution rate certified by the board shall include amounts necessary to cover the costs of the Administrative Law Judge's and Legal Advisor's retirement system. This act is similar to the introduced SB 0248 (2003) and identical to both SB 183 (2005) and SB 202 (2005). DONALD THALHUBER
