Abstract: Relative to the La. State Employees' Retirement System (LASERS), clarifies the
definition of "accumulated contributions" to include all amounts paid by a member

to the LASERS trust.
Proposed law changes the definition of "accumulated contributions" to include all amounts
paid by a member and credited to the LASERS trust. Excludes interest paid by a member
when repaying a refund.
Effective July 1, 2010.
