SB 132-FN - FISCAL NOTE

AN ACT relative to part-time employment in the retirement system and establishing a committee to study police special details.

FISCAL IMPACT:

    The New Hampshire Retirement System states this bill, as introduced, will have an indeterminable impact on state, county, and local expenditures in FY 2014 and each year thereafter. There will be no fiscal impact on state, county, or local revenues.

METHODOLOGY:

    The New Hampshire Retirement System (NHRS) states this bill will place a calendar limit of 1,600 hours that an NHRS retiree may work part-time for “one or more” NHRS employers. The bill also creates a study committee to study the use and efficacy of police special details. The NHRS states the fiscal impact of this bill is indeterminable because NHRS does not maintain data on retired members who have been rehired as part-time employees by NHRS participating employers nor does it maintain data on how many such rehired employees would exceed the hour limit threshold stated in the bill. NHRS’ actuary states it is reasonable to expect there would be minimal impact on employer contribution rates due to these proposed changes.
