With just days left in the 2025 Regular Legislative Session, several bills impacting LASERS continue to move through the legislative process. Below are the latest developments:

• HB 10 by Rep. Boyer received final passage in the Senate, was signed by the Governor, and is now Act 7. This bill reduces the service credit required for a retiree of LASERS to be reemployed without an increase, suspension, or reduction of retirement benefits from 30 to 25 years if they are appointed by the governor to fill an unclassified position (as amended). The LASERS Board is neutral on this bill.
• HB 63 by Rep. Green was amended and reported favorably in the House Judiciary Committee, passed on the House Floor, and was reported favorably in Senate Judiciary A. HB 63 proposes a constitutional amendment that, if approved by voters at the Nov. 3, 2026, election, would require judges to retire if they have reached age 75 (as amended). The LASERS Board is neutral on this bill.
• HB 307 by Rep. Henry was amended and passed on the House Floor, then reported favorably as amended in Senate Judiciary B. HB 307 requires individuals requesting public assistance who are not US citizens to be reported to US Immigration & Customs Enforcement. The LASERS Board is neutral on this bill.
• HB 460 by Rep. McFarland was reported favorably as amended in the Senate Finance Committee and awaits action on the Senate Floor. HB 460 makes supplemental appropriations for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 and allocates $7,594 to LASERS to apply to the balance of the system’s unfunded accrued liability (as amended). The LASERS Board supports this bill.
