RETIREMENT/TEACHERS: Provides relative to the optional retirement plan and defined benefit plan for the Teachers' Retirement System of Louisiana (EN SEE ACTUARIAL NOTE APV)

Maddy summaryThis bill amends the text of an existing act related to the Teachers' Retirement System of Louisiana by making specific wording changes. The primary effect is to clarify the names of the retirement plans involved, ensuring the optional retirement plan and the defined benefit plan are explicitly identified. Additionally, the bill corrects a grammatical error by changing "employers" to "employer's" and adds the word "on" to two other instances within the document. These adjustments are administrative in nature and do not alter the substantive rules or funding for the retirement system.

PRESCRIPTION: Provides relative to legislative intent of certain Acts relating to causes of action for abuse of a minor.

Maddy summaryThis concurrent resolution expresses the Louisiana Legislature's intent that laws regarding sexual abuse of minors should not have time limits on when victims can file lawsuits. It specifically addresses a recent court ruling that declared previous attempts to revive expired claims unconstitutional, arguing that such time limits do not create permanent rights for the accused. The bill asserts that the state has a legitimate interest in addressing child abuse by allowing victims to seek justice regardless of how much time has passed since the abuse occurred. Ultimately, it serves as a formal legislative statement supporting the removal of expiration dates for these specific legal claims.

Labat, though it does not alter traffic rules or funding. The change is purely symbolic and applies only to the named portion of the highway within that parish.
