*The New Hampshire Retirement System states it is not able to separate the fiscal impact of this legislation between county and local government, therefore the fiscal impact is shown together as political subdivisions.
METHODOLOGY:
This bill excludes emergency response and training by retired members working for municipal fire departments from the annual limitations on part-time employment. The New Hampshire Retirement System states an individual could currently lose the annuity portion of their pension if the person exceeds the cap on hours allowed. This bill would exclude hours worked under the definitions outlined in the bill, thereby benefitting the individual by avoiding the possible loss of the annuity portion of such pension. The possible loss of such pension amounts currently represent a possible savings of expense to the NHRS. The bill may eliminate such savings. The possible change in expense and savings to the NHRS is not likely to affect employer rates significantly, but such fiscal impact is indeterminable. There is no revenue impact to the system as there are no contributions collected on behalf of such retired individuals.
