2007 Senate Bill 546

House Roll Call 435: Failed

To establish a “graduated” school employees pension and post-retirement health care benefits vesting system, where the amount of pension and benefits a school employee receives is tied more directly to the number of years worked; and also require employees to contribute more of their salaries to the system. Under current law an employee who has only worked for 10 years (or five in some cases) can be eligible for a full pension and benefits.
