Regular Session News #11: Membership bill and Social Security resolution advance

May 17, 2021

Today, the Senate Retirement Committee reported the following bill and resolution favorably:
  • House Bill 22 (Rep. LaCombe) would require all new employees of the Louisiana School Boards Association (LSBA), current employees of the LSBA who have five or more years of service credit in TRSL, and the director of LSBA to become members of TRSL. Currently, LSBA employees are members of the Parochial Employees' Retirement System of Louisiana (PERS). 
  • House Concurrent Resolution 7 (Rep. M. Johnson) requests that Congress review and eliminate or reduce the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and the Government Pension Offset (GPO) Social Security benefit reductions.
 Both pieces of legislation will now go to the full Senate for consideration.
