3-9-103. Review of pension and retirement system bills.
(a) Whenever any bill is introduced in the general assembly proposing to establish a new pension system or to make any change in an existing system, or to make any change in the law which may have a financial impact on the Tennessee consolidated retirement system, the bill shall be referred to the council and to a standing committee; provided, that no action shall be taken on the bill by the standing committee until the council reports its recommendation and the actuarial cost of the bill.
(b) Any bill which creates financial liability on the Tennessee consolidated retirement system or on any superseded system must contain the manner of funding for such liabilities created by the bill. Accrued liability costs shall be actuarially determined on a period not exceeding twenty (20) years.
(c) Whenever the council recommends a bill for passage only with the adoption of an amendment or amendments approved by a majority vote of the council, the council shall cause such committee amendment or amendments to be prepared in proper form and filed with the chief clerks of both houses of the general assembly in advance of any consideration of the bill on the floor and in the standing committee. The chief clerks of both houses shall cause the recommended amendment or amendments to be reproduced and placed upon the desk of all members of their respective houses and also upon the desk of all members of the standing committee of their respective houses. Bills reported out of the council shall not be considered by a standing committee unless the committee amendment of the council is attached to the bill.
(d) The council shall not report for approval any bill which creates additional financial liabilities on the Tennessee consolidated retirement system or on any superseded system unless such bill is preceded by or accompanied by an appropriation bill or appropriate amendment prepared and attached, which provides the first year's funding, determined actuarially. However, technical adjustments accompanied by coincidental costs which are found necessary by the state's actuary may be made with regard to the provisions of this section.
(e) If a bill comes before the council without appropriate funding, the council may receive recommendations to provide for funding based on the above criteria. Consideration shall be given to increasing employee contributions to cover any additional costs.
(f) All bills referred to the council shall be reported back to the standing committee to which they were assigned no later than five (5) weeks after the later of the dates adopted by the house of representatives or the senate for cutting off the introduction of new bills with appropriate amendments attached.
