OFA Fiscal Note
State Impact: See Below
Municipal Impact: None
Explanation
The bill, which allows employees of the Connecticut Municipal
Employees Retirement System (CMERS) to be re-employed with the
CMERS town and continue to receive pension payments, provided they
do not participate in the retirement system during re-employment, does
not result in a fiscal impact as no additional pension credit can be
earned.
The bill, which also explicitly permits CMERS members of a police or
fire department to accept employment with any participating school
district in a public safety position and continue to receive pension
payments, provided they do not participate in the retirement system
during re-employment, does not result in a fiscal impact as no
additional pension credit can be earned.
The bill extends the Commissioner of Housing’s authority to revoke,
transfer, or convey property owned by a nonprofit organization that
received financial assistance from the Community Housing Land Bank
and Land Trust Fund, which is expected to have a potential minimal
fiscal impact. Dependent on future decisions by the Commissioner of
Housing, the state may gain use of an asset and/or incur the minimal 2022HB-05172-R01-FN.DOCX Page 2 of 2
administrative costs of conveyance.
House "A" adds provisions (1) extending DOH's authority to revoke,
transfer, or convey certain property, resulting in the potential minimal
impact noted above, and (2) makes changes to the Department of
Administrative Services prequalification application and bidding
processes that have no fiscal impact.
House "A" also increases the compensation for part-time members of
the board of Pardons and Parole from $110 a day to $200 a day resulting
in a cost to the state, the extent to which is dependent on the number of
days worked by the part-time members.
House "B" strikes the provisions of House "A" requiring an increase
in the daily reimbursement for part-time members of the Board of
Pardons and Paroles, which removes the associated cost.
The Out Years
The annualized ongoing fiscal impact identified above would
continue into the future subject to inflation.
