TO:
Honorable Dade Phelan, Speaker of the House, House of Representatives
 
FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB4368 by Rodriguez (Relating to participation in, contributions to, and the benefits and administration of retirement systems for police officers in certain municipalities.), As Passed 2nd House

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend Vernon's Civil Statutes to make changes to the benefits and financing structure of the Austin Police Retirement System (APRS).  According to the actuarial impact statement provided by the Pension Review Board (PRB), if the bill were enacted, the long-term cost of the retirement system would be reduced, and the contribution changes would move the system from an infinite amortization period to an effective amortization period of 30 years, effective January 1, 2022.  No significant impact to state agencies is anticipated from the provisions of the bill.

Local Government Impact

The fiscal implications of the bill cannot be determined at this time.
