Fiscal Note Summary

The bill provides for a 5% salary reductions for various state officers, appointed positions and members of Boards and Commissions. The salary reduction amounts are not analyzed in this actuarial note. PERS is a final average pay plan and for most members receiving the pay cut, the 5% reduction does not impact their retirement benefit average pay currently earned. Due to the relatilve small number of individuals receiving the pay reduction and the final average pay formula in PERS, there is only a minor impact on the PERS plan.
