Actuarial Note Summary
Impact this measure will have on the liabilities and contributions associated with the retirement system(s).
As introduced, the bill removes the provision that allows officers of a statewide professional teaching association to make contributions to the Teachers Retirement System (TRS) for up to ten years and not be considered absent from service as a teacher/nonteacher in the plan. Because the number of individuals affected is minimal, there are no measurable changes to plan costs as a result of the bill’s provisions.

Explanation of above Actuarial estimates:
Because the number of individuals affected is minimal, there are no measurable changes to plan costs as a result of the bill’s provisions.
Analysis of Impact on Public Pension Policy:
Current law allows officers of statewide professional teaching associations to make contributions in an amount that is double their regular contribution in order to not be considered absent from service in TRS for a period of up to ten years. This bill eliminates that provision, and so those members who serve as officers will not have the ability to continue to contribute and accumulate service in TRS if they are absent from teaching/nonteaching service while serving in the association.
