Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
The bill provides technical clean up and clarifications impacting CPRB administration of the Plan. The primary provisions clarify certain definitions. The bill eliminates the Teachers Employer Contribution Collection Account (TECCA Account) which acts as a preliminary holding account for current TRS employer and School Aid Formula contributions. Amounts in the TECCA account may only be transferred once each month to the Investment Management Board for deposit into the TRS Trust Fund for investment.
There is no increase in benefits to any members of TRS. There is no change in either the Normal Cost nor the Actuarial Accrued Liabilities.

Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):
Changes are procedural in nature. There are no changes in either the Normal Cost nor the Actuarial Accrued Liabilities. The elimination of the TECCA account does not impact Plan funding directly.
Memorandum
The elimination of the TECCA holding account requirement should improve the flow of employer contributions being deposited with the Investment Management Board in the TRS Trust Fund.
