SB 406 Louisiana Senate · 2024 Regular Session

RETIREMENT BENEFITS: Removes the cap on the amount of any permanent benefit increase for recipients whose benefit is based on the record of someone who retired with at least 30 years of service credit. (gov sig) (EN INCREASE APV)

This bill modifies the rules for the Sheriffs' Pension and Relief Fund in Louisiana by removing a specific limit on permanent benefit increases for certain retirees. It directly affects pension recipients whose benefits are based on a record of at least 30 years of service credit. Under the current law, these increases are capped at five percent of the average monthly benefit paid to other service retirees, but this new provision eliminates that ceiling for the specified group. The change allows eligible individuals to receive higher monthly adjustments without being restricted by the standard percentage limit applied to others.
