During the 2013 General Session, the Legislature passed H.B. 194, "State Employee Benefits Amendments". The legislation discontinues sick leave accrual under the post-retirement medical benefit program II for state employees. This funding will fund the 401k match program to make up for the loss of this benefit. Beginning on or after January 4, 2014, an employer shall make a biweekly matching contribution to every qualifying employee's defined contribution plan under section 401k as stipulated in the legislation.
