Expands scope of review of Pension and Health Benefits Review Commission.

This bill expands the Pension and Health Benefits Review Commission's mandate to review **all** legislation affecting public employees' pension and health benefits, rather than just most such bills as currently required. It directly affects **state and local government employees** whose retirement plans (including defined benefit, defined contribution, and deferred compensation plans) or health care benefits are modified by new laws. The key mechanism requires the Legislative Budget and Finance Officer to identify qualifying bills within 20 days, then the Commission must complete its review and provide written recommendations within 45 days (or an approved extension) before the bill can advance. This closes a current gap where certain pension/health benefit legislation was not automatically certified for review.
