Dear MRTA Members:
Thanks to your hard work and persistence HB 304 - (Divorce Reform) and HB 305 (Kelly Services Loophole Closure) were
amended to CCS/HCS/SS/SB 62 and are now on the Governor's desk for signature. CONGRATULATIONS!!!! These are great bills for retirees and for the health of the PSRS/PEERS system.
The current Foundation Formula was fully funded by the House and Senate and it also awaits a signature from the Governor!
Several negative pieces of legislation to retirement systems and public education were killed due to your involvement and persistence. SB 313 - Vouchers was killed in the House. HB 634 - Charters was killed in the Senate. BELOW is our 2017 MRTA Issues of Importance End of Session Report.
