Referred to the Committee on Appropriations
Passed in the House 102 to 0 (details)
Substitute offered
To replace the previous version of the bill with one which also provides for a new pension fund retirement health care sub-account, which would pay for future state retiree health care benefits. This sub-fund would receive from the regular pension fund any contributions in excess of the amount deemed sufficient under actuarial and accounting standards to cover future pension expenses. In years when employee pension contributions were less than this amount, money could be transferred from the health care sub-fund to the pension fund, subject to approval by legislative appropriations committees.
