Abstract: Prohibits membership in the La. State Employees' Retirement System (LASERS) and the
Teachers' Retirement System of La. (TRSL) for new hires of certain private employers.
Allows current members of such employers to retain their membership.
Present law, relative to LASERS, authorizes an employee of a primary health center established
under federal law to be a member of LASERS if such employee is not eligible for membership in
any other state or federal public retirement system. Proposed law provides that employees of such
employers hired on or after Sept. 1, 2016, shall not be members of LASERS.
Present law, relative to TRSL, authorizes the following entities to enroll their employees in TRSL:
(1)The La. Federation of Teachers (if such employees were previously members of TRSL).
(2)The La. Assoc. of Educators.
(3)The Associated Professional Educators of La.
(4)The La. Resource Center for Educators.
Proposed law provides that employees of such employers hired on or after Sept. 1, 2016, shall not
be members of TRSL.
Present law provides that employees of the La. High School Athletic Assoc. hired on or after July
1, 2011, shall not be members of TRSL. Proposed law retains present law.
