Heading: FRS Consolidated Into Title 11

Text: In connection with the on-going process of consolidation of the state and statewide public retirement systems, the legislature by Acts 1991, No. 74, authorized the Louisiana State Law Institute to re-designate all of the existing provisions of law related to and governing the operation of the public retirement systems, plans, and funds. [46] This Act consolidated into Title 11 the four main state retirement systems [47] and the nine statewide retirement systems. [48] In this manner, the statutory provisions relative to the FRS, former La. R.S. 33:2151 through 2165, were re-designated in Title 11 as La. R.S. 11:2251 through 2269. [49] Specifically, the provisions of La. R.S. 33:2160, which set up the method of funding the FRS, were re-designated as La. R.S. 11:2262. Within this Act, the legislature clearly expressed its intent that the re-designation did not alter substantive law: No action taken by the Louisiana State Law Institute under the provisions of this Act shall in any way alter or repeal any substantive provision of law governing any public retirement system, plan or fund. [50] These changes became effective on June 25, 1991. [51]
