2013 Senate Bill 670

Revise pre-term limits legislative pension detail

Introduced in the Senate

Nov. 7, 2013

Introduced by Sen. Rick Jones (R-24)

To repeal a statutory earmark of a small portion of court fees to a legislative retirement system. Conventional pensions for legislators were ended after term limits imposed by a popular initiative went into effect in the 1990s, but many surviving members of pre-term limits legislatures still collect pension benefits. Current lawmakers get 401(k) contributions instead.

Referred to the Committee on Appropriations
