AI Summary

This bill terminates Plan 1 of the Law Enforcement Officers' and Firefighters' Retirement System (LEOFF Plan 1) effective June 30, 2029, and restates it into a new system. The legislature found that LEOFF Plan 1 is overfunded and has assets exceeding its liabilities, with very few active members remaining. The bill aims to ensure that all current liabilities of LEOFF Plan 1 are met by transferring actuarially sufficient resources to a newly established restated retirement system, with any remaining surplus assets reverting to the state. The bill also makes numerous conforming amendments to various existing laws to reflect these changes and ensure consistency across different retirement and benefit systems, including updating references to LEOFF Plan 1 to include the new restated system.
