MINOR

The bill was completely rewritten from a general $100,000 appropriation for state services to a specific pension law. The new version authorizes a one-time benefit increase for retired Oklahoma police officers based on their years of service and amends existing pension actuarial definitions to clarify how future bills are categorized.

The bill's scope shifted from a broad budgetary measure applicable to the entire state government to a targeted policy change affecting only the Oklahoma Police Pension and Retirement System.

ELIGIBILITY

Created a new section granting a one-time benefit increase to retired police officers, with the amount depending on how long they have been retired (0% for less than 10 years, 3% for 10-19 years, and 6% for 20+ years).

DEFINITION

Updated legal definitions regarding retirement bills to explicitly define terms like 'RB number' and 'nonfiscal amendment' to improve clarity on how pension legislation is processed.

FISCAL

Removed the previous provision that appropriated $100,000 to the Office of Management and Enterprise Services for general duties.
