SB 494 Louisiana Senate · 2026 Regular Session

DISTRICT ATTORNEYS RET: Provides relative to the District Attorneys' Retirement System. (8/1/26) (OR INCREASE APV)

This bill modifies Louisiana's District Attorneys' Retirement System to change how benefits are handled when retired district attorneys return to work. Under new rules, most retirees who reemploy will have their pension payments paused during their return to service, though they can regain their status and earn additional benefits based on their new salary. A specific exception allows certain retirees to keep their pension payments while working again, provided they repay their original benefits with interest and meet strict reporting requirements. The legislation also mandates that employers submit annual reports on these reemployed retirees to the retirement system starting in 2027. These changes aim to clarify eligibility, benefit calculations, and financial reporting for district attorneys who retire and later return to their positions.
