HB 90-FN - FISCAL NOTE

AN ACT relative to the costs incurred by the retirement system in evaluating proposed legislation.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The New Hampshire Retirement System states this bill will have no fiscal impact on state, county, and local revenue or expenditures.

The New Hampshire Retirement System's Special Account will decrease by an indeterminable amount in FY 2003 and each year thereafter.

METHODOLOGY:

The System states this bill would require the System to allocate the actuarial, professional, and administrative cost of evaluating proposed legislation to be paid from the appropriate component of the Special Account. The System states there would be a slight increase in the net amount of assets available for pension benefits, which would result in a deminimus savings to the System. The bill would result in less assets available in the Special Account to purchase future benefits. There are no additional administrative expenses associated with this legislation.

The Actuary's letter is on file in the bill jacket in the House Clerk's Office.
