SB0156 - Elected Official Retirement Benefits Amendments

State Government (UCA 36-12-13(2)(b)):
Enactment of this bill eliminates post-employment health benefits for new legislators and governors. Closing the plan will limit future cost increases and may reduce annual required contributions over time depending upon investment results and beneficiary turn-over rates, among other factors. The bill funds existing liabilities to an actuarially determined level by appropriating $246,300 ongoing from the General Fund beginning in FY 2012 and transfering $1.8 million in base budgets plus $1.4 million in nonlapsing balances from a program in the Division of Finance to a newly created investment trust fund.
