Actuarial Note Summary

Impact this measure will have on the liabilities and contributions associated with the retirement system(s).


    The bill provides technical clarifications and clean up to conform to existing practices which includes:
    
    1. Defining errors and the corrections of errors, including contributions and interest.
    2. Removes $500 minimum limit for qualified rollovers.
    3. Defined disability benefit starting date.
    4. Details disability review requirements and suspension of benefits for failure to provide requested information to CPRB.
    5. Clarifies that a loan must be paid off for 60 days before a new loan may be taken out.
