Arnold HB No. 747
Abstract: Relative to the Harbor Police Retirement System (Port of New Orleans) (HPRS),
allows certain retirees of other retirement systems to be members.
Proposed law prohibits any person employed on July 17, 2003, who has retired from another
retirement system, from becoming a member of HPRS upon his initial employment. Rather,
membership shall be prospective from July 17, 2003, forward.
Proposed law repeals present law's prohibitions and allows a retiree of another system, who
is employed on July 17, 2003, to become a member of HPRS from his date of employment,
rather than prospectively only from July 17, 2003.
Effective July 1, 2010.
