2010 Senate Bill 1226

House Roll Call 428: Passed

To increase by 6.7 percent the pension benefits of high-seniority state employees who retire this year. Also, to increase by 3 percent contributions remaining state employees make to their post-retirement benefits, but only for three years. The money would not bolster underfunded pension funds, but go to retiree health benefits. The bill would also prohibit a "double dipping" scheme where "retired" state employees collect pensions and also get paid as a contract employee.
