2021 Louisiana Laws|Revised Statutes|Title 11 - Consolidated Public Retirement|§2225.1. Amendment

RS 2225.1 - Amendment  A. The provisions of the retirement system established by R.S. 11:2211 may be amended by action of the legislature in the same manner as any other statute may be amended by the legislature. In addition, action of the board with respect to the payment of cost-of-living adjustments, as provided in R.S. 11:2225(A)(7); with respect to the payment of employee contributions, as provided in R.S. 11:154; and with respect to actuarial assumptions, as provided in R.S. 11:2225(D), shall be considered amendments to the provisions of the retirement system.  B. No amendment to this retirement system shall operate to deprive any member of a benefit to which he is already entitled. In the case of any merger or consolidation with, or transfer of assets or liabilities to, another retirement system, each member in the retirement system would, if the retirement system is then terminated, receive a benefit immediately after the merger, consolidation, or transfer which is equal to or greater than the benefit he would have been entitled to receive immediately before the merger, consolidation, or transfer, if the retirement system had then terminated.

A member's right to his benefit is not conditioned upon a sufficiency of plan assets in the event of termination.  Acts 1992, No. 262, §1.

B.

C. Notwithstanding Subsections A and B of this Section, if the system shall be terminated and all obligations under the system are fully funded and provided for, then any excess funds held by the system shall be returned to the employer.
