2005 House Bill 5171

Require prefunding school employee pension health benefits

Introduced in the House

Sept. 13, 2005

Introduced by Rep. Lorence Wenke (R-63)

To require prefunding of school employee post-retirement health care benefits, rather than the current “pay as you go” system. A new state investment fund would be created for the purpose. Presumably higher employer contributions would be required until this new fund has enough resources to cover anticipated future costs.

Referred to the Committee on Education
