Pensions and Retirement Benefits - As introduced, requires the board of trustees of TCRS to include in its annual report to the general assembly a certification of the amount of normal contributions, accumulated liability contributions, and cost of living contributions required from the employer to meet the funding needs of retirements for state judges and attorneys general participating in Groups 1, 3, and 4 of the consolidated retirement system. - Amends TCA Title 4 and Title 8.

HB 2224 requires the Tennessee Consolidated Retirement System (TCRS) board to include specific financial certifications in its annual report to the legislature. These certifications detail the normal contributions, accumulated liability contributions, and cost-of-living adjustments needed from employers to fund retirements for state judges and attorneys general in Groups 1, 3, and 4 of the retirement system. The bill amends Tennessee law to add this reporting requirement to the board’s existing annual report process. It does not change retirement benefits or funding levels, only the transparency of reporting.
