DIGEST
Shaw (SB 4)
Present law provides that retirement benefits provided by the Municipal Police Employees'
Retirement System (MPERS) shall not annually exceed 100% of average compensation, and
when a member has earned benefits equal to 100% of his average compensation, no further
contributions shall be required of him. However, the employer shall continue to pay to the
system the employer's contribution.
Proposed law retains present law relative to the maximum annual retirement benefit of 100%
of average compensation. However, proposed law provides that once a member has earned
benefits equal to 100% of his average compensation he must begin to pay the employer's
contribution in lieu of the employee contribution if he continues his employment.
Effective July 1, 2011.
