MODERATE

The bill was finalized as Enrolled, changing its focus from general public employee benefits to specific provisions for police officers hired on or after January 1, 2011 (Tier 2). The most significant change is the introduction of a new salary cap for these officers, limiting annual salary to $106,800 starting in 2011 and adjusting it annually thereafter, which directly impacts retirement benefit calculations.

Scope change

The bill's scope narrowed from general public employee pension rules to specifically address a new tier of police officers hired after 2011, while removing previous sections regarding ordinary disability benefits for general employees.

ELIGIBILITY

Created a new 'Tier 2' classification for police officers hired on or after January 1, 2011, and their qualified survivors, establishing distinct benefit rules for this group.

Deleted the previous definition of 'Salary' and the section on 'Ordinary disability benefit' which applied to general employees, replacing them with the new police-specific provisions.

FISCAL

Established a salary cap for Tier 2 officers, limiting annual salary to $106,800 for the 2011 plan year, with an automatic annual adjustment mechanism starting in 2025.

TIMELINE

Set specific effective dates for the new salary cap (January 1, 2011) and the start of automatic annual adjustments (July 1, 2025).
