Bill Summary

AN ACT RELATING TO LEGISLATIVE RETIREMENT; CHANGING THE CALCULATION FOR THE AMOUNT OF PENSION PURSUANT TO STATE LEGISLATOR MEMBER COVERAGE PLAN 2; PROVIDING A LIMITED OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE CONTRIBUTIONS FOR THE PURPOSE OF QUALIFYING FOR A PENSION UNDER STATE LEGISLATOR MEMBER COVERAGE PLAN 2.

AI Summary

This bill proposes changes to the legislative retirement plan in New Mexico. It amends the existing law to change the calculation for the pension amount under the State Legislator Member Coverage Plan 2, basing it on a percentage of the per diem rate and the legislator's or lieutenant governor's credited service. The bill also provides a limited-time opportunity for state legislators who did not previously make a timely election to qualify for the increased pension amount by making additional contributions based on their years of credited service and at an interest rate set by the retirement board.
