2014 House Bill 5516

Prorate unfunded university pension benefit “catch up” costs

Introduced in the House

May 1, 2014

Introduced by Rep. Al Pscholka (R-79)

To establish a methodology for assessing state universities a share of the annual assessment required to “catch up” on unfunded pension liabilities. The bill would assess both universities and K-12 school districts with a share of the “catch up” costs based on how much of the unfunded liability was incurred on behalf of their employees’ service over the years, using a formula the bill proposes for determining the value of past and future pension fund contributions and the projected cost of future pension benefit payments.

Referred to the Committee on Financial Liability Reform
