RETIREMENT SYSTEMS: Provides relative to transfers of service credit between systems. (6/30/24) (EN NO IMPACT APV)

Maddy summaryThis bill updates the rules for moving retirement service credit between different public pension systems in Louisiana. It requires that when a worker transfers, the receiving system gets the smaller of the actual money contributed or a calculated amount based on employee contributions, employer contributions, and interest. The law specifically defines how to calculate employer contributions for certain systems to ensure the transfer amount is accurate. These changes take effect on June 30, 2024, and directly impact public employees who move between covered retirement plans.

SCHOOLS: Requests the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education to study the advisability and feasibility of requiring metal detection devices in public schools

Maddy summaryThis legislative resolution asks the Louisiana State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education to investigate whether metal detection devices should be required in public schools. The bill directs the board to evaluate the practicality and benefits of implementing these security measures and to submit a report with its findings to the House Education Committee before the start of the 2025 legislative session. While the resolution emphasizes the importance of school safety, it does not mandate the devices themselves but rather initiates a study to explore the option.
