METHODOLOGY:
This bill requires that the administrative and professional cost of the fiscal analysis of proposed legislation done by the New Hampshire Retirement System (NHRS) be reimbursed from general funds not otherwise appropriated. The NHRS states the expenditures associated with this bill are indeterminable. The NHRS is unable to project the number of retirement-related bills that would be filed in a legislative session, the level of complexity, or whether actuarial or professional fees would be required to determine the fiscal impact. Similar costs from prior legislative sessions excluding NHRS staff time or software implementation costs have ranged from $13,000 to $176,000.
