FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
The Joint Committee on Public Employee Retirement (JCPER) has reviewed this proposal and has determined an study is not needed under the provisions of section 105.660, subdivision (5).
Officials from the Public Shool Retirement System of the City of St. Louis assume no fiscal impact to their agency.
Officials from the Public School Retirement System assume this bill makes the following changes:
For PSRS, this legislation would provide a temporary increase in monthly benefits of $5 per month per year of credit for any member who has retired and is age seventy-five or older and who has reached the 80% COLA cap prior to January 1, 2009. The benefit would be payable through January 1, 2014. The proposed increase in retirement benefits for PSRS will increase the actuarial accrued liability of the system by $15.7 million. This increase in liabilities will require a .02% total increase in the contribution rate for active members and school districts.
For PEERS, this legislation would provide a temporary increase in monthly benefits of $3 per month per year of credit for any member who has retired and is age seventy-five or older and who has reached the 80% COLA cap prior to January 1, 2009. The benefit would be payable through January 1, 2014. The proposed increase in retirement benefits for PEERS will increase the actuarial accrued liability of the system by $1.2 million. This increase in liabilities will require a .01% total increase in the contribution rate for active members and school districts.

FISCAL IMPACT - Small Business
No direct fiscal impact to small businesses would be expected as a result of this proposal.
FISCAL DESCRIPTION
The proposed legislation extends the provisions relating to teacher retirement and does appear to have a fiscal impact to local government.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
