2222
2323 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Assembly convened:
2424
2525 That the general statutes be amended to prohibit any pay for overtime accumulated after passage of this act from being considered "salary" for the purposes of calculating pension benefits for any state employee, because the state's bond rating has been downgraded due to chronic under funding of the state employee pension system, the state has the second lowest pension funding ratio in the nation, the Office of Fiscal Analysis estimates that savings from pension changes under the SEBAC agreement will fall three billion dollars short of the amount anticipated, other states are enacting pension reform and Connecticut is one of the few states that allows overtime pay to be included in pension benefit calculations.
2626
2727 Statement of Purpose:
2828
2929 To end the practice of pension padding and provide that overtime pay cannot be used to increase pension benefits for state employees.
