AI Summary
This bill:
Amends the Public School Employees Retirement Act of 1979 to require a defined contribution only retirement plan for public school employees hired after a certain date. The bill makes several changes to the existing retirement system, including establishing separate contribution rates for members hired before and after certain dates, requiring 50/50 cost-sharing of normal costs and unfunded liabilities for members hired after February 1, 2018, and providing for automatic enrollment of qualified participants in the defined contribution plan unless they elect otherwise. The bill also places restrictions on the ability of new members to purchase or transfer service credit, and allows for increases to the regular retirement age based on changes in mortality assumptions. Finally, the bill appropriates $5 million for the administration of the changes.
