IN RE:
HB3100 by Lozano (Relating to the accrual of interest on annuity and other payments made to certain retirees who have resumed employment within the Texas Municipal Retirement System.), As Introduced
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Government Code to require the accrual of interest on annuity and other payments to be made to certain retirees who have resumed employment within the Texas Municipal Retirement System.
Local Government Impact
According to Texas Municipal Retirement System (TMRS), 129 municipalities that employ 214 return to work retirees could have actuarial losses that could increase each city's contribution rate. TMRS reported there could be actuarial losses to other cities if additional retirees return to work in those cities.
TMRS reported costs of $333,000 for reprogramming of internal computers and actuarial systems, program modifications, and informational material updates to implement the provisions of the bill. According to TMRS, there could be costs with the suspending of current programs in order to make the programming changes as required by the provisions of the bill; however, these costs cannot be determined.
