DIGEST
Alario (SB 39)
Present law provides for membership in the La. State Employees' Retirement System
(LASERS).
Present law (R.S. 11:412) specifies that for purposes of determining eligibility for
membership in LASERS, the legislature shall provide by law whether or not the types of
agency service performed by employees, elected officials, and appointed officials of new
agencies are within the scope of the provisions of present law.
Proposed law retains present law.
Present law (R.S. 38:291(Y)) provides for the Lafitte Area Independent Levee District
(LAILD), created by Act 475 of the 2007 Regular Session. The Act does not provide for
LASERS membership.
Proposed law adds employees of LAILD to the membership of LASERS.
Effective July 1, 2012.
