MODERATE

This bill update adjusts the fiscal projections and actuarial data for a proposed benefit change that would create a legal presumption that EMTs who suffer strokes while working are considered disabled or deceased due to their job. The revision reflects updated cost estimates based on more recent fiscal years and census data, showing higher projected employer contributions and revised benefit values.

Scope change

The bill's substantive scope remains unchanged, but the fiscal analysis has been updated to reflect current data from fiscal year 2025 instead of 2024.

FISCAL

Updated fiscal year projections for employer contributions increased, with costs shifting from fiscal year 2026 to 2027 and extending the impact period to fiscal year 2051 instead of 2050.

Actuarial present values for employer contributions per disability and per death were revised upward from $440K/$1,290K to $455K/$1,336K based on June 30, 2025 data.

TECHNICAL

Census data used for cost estimates was updated to reflect June 30, 2025 figures, showing a decrease in active member count from 4,232 to 4,038 and an increase in average age from 36.5 to 37.1.

Amortization payment amounts per disability and per death were adjusted from $52K/$153K to $54K/$158K to align with the new actuarial calculations.
