The bill would provide increases in Judicial Retirement System Plan II (JRS II) annuities whenever the state salaries of judges are increased. It would increase the required state contribution rate to slightly more than 25 percent of payroll, above the current contribution rate of 16.83 percent. The new rate would range from 25.03 percent in FY 2006 to 25.6 percent by FY 2010.
The above analysis does not take into account other actions, such as a judicial pay increase. JRS II currently assumes a four percent annual pay increase. If a larger one were granted, it could decrease the current asset balance, thereby further increasing the cost of an actuarially sound state contribution under this proposal.
