Actuarial Note Summary
Impact this measure will have on the liabilities and contributions associated with the retirement system(s).
HB 2649 proposes to make changes to “Less Than Honorable Service” provisions that apply to all retirement plans administered by the CPRB. Namely, it would specify certain crimes (larceny, forgery of public record, perjury, false swearing, bribery, etc.) which would be considered to constitute “Less Than Honorable Service”. It also removes the restriction that a crime must not be a misdemeanor to constitute “Less Than Honorable Service”.
Passage of the bill would result in no cost impact on the plans’ Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liabilities or Normal Cost, and would result in no change to the plans’ contribution requirements.

Explanation of above Actuarial estimates:
There is no actuarial assumption concerning “Less Than Honorable Service” performed in any of the CPRB-administered plans. The changes proposed by the bill would not result in any measurable cost impact.
Analysis of Impact on Public Pension Policy:
Current code provisions require that a crime must be a felony in order to be cause for disqualification under less than honorable service provisions. This bill would allow disqualification based on conviction of certain misdemeanors. Under current statute, prosecuting attorneys in each county would be required to report such convictions to the Board, and this bill makes no change to that requirement.
Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
Passage of the bill would result in no cost impact on the plans’ Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liabilities or Normal Cost, and would result in no change to the plans’ contribution requirements.
