SB 20 Louisiana Senate · 2026 Regular Session

SCHOOL EMPLOYEES RET: Provides relative to the determination of employer contributions and amortization of certain actuarial gains. (gov sig) (EN SEE ACTUARIAL NOTE FC)

SB 20 changes how Louisiana sets annual employer contributions for the School Employees' Retirement System and other public retirement systems. It repeals three existing sections of law that previously governed contribution calculations and the handling of actuarial gains, streamlining the process for determining these payments. This update directly affects state and local government employers who fund these retirement plans. The bill modifies the legal framework without altering specific contribution rates or funding amounts.
