Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
The completion of the Deferred Retirement Option Plan (DROP) retrospective study every five years instead of every year will reduce the cost paid annually to the Municipal Pension's Oversight Board's actuary, Bolton Partners. The savings will be realized as an increase in the amount of allocation awarded to each municipal pension fund, as expenses incurred by the MPOB are deducted from the tax premiums collected.

Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):
Currently, the MPOB pays Bolton Partners each year for a retrospective study of all plans participating in the Deferred Retirement Option Plan (DROP) program. The current cost is $5,000 a year. The MPOB expects more municipal pensions to join DROP each year, therefore the cost of the study will increase each year. It is estimated that switching to a five year reporting period will save the MPOB $54,000 in the first cycle and savings will continue, and likely increase, for the foreseeable future.
