Actuarial Note Summary

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


    The Bill raises the limit on monthly supplemental payments for overtime from $236 to $400.
    
    The Bill does not directly impact the benefits in State Police Plan A or Plan B, and therefore has no direct actuarial cost impact on either plan.
