Bill Summary
AN ACT To amend Code Section 47-23-64 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to transfer of funds from the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia to the Georgia Judicial Retirement System by superior court judges, district attorneys, or solicitors-general and crediting service, so as to provide that any member of such retirement system shall be eligible to transfer funds; to provide conditions for an effective date and automatic repeal; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill amends a Georgia law regarding retirement system fund transfers, expanding eligibility for transferring contributions from the Employees' Retirement System to the Judicial Retirement System. Previously, only specific judicial positions like superior court judges, state court judges, solicitors general, and district attorneys could transfer their retirement funds, but this bill now allows any member of the Employees' Retirement System to make such a transfer. The bill extends the deadline for making this transfer to December 31, 2026, or within 90 days after entering a covered position, whichever is later. The bill will only become effective on July 1, 2026, and only if it is determined to be concurrently funded according to the Public Retirement Systems Standards Law. If funding is not confirmed, the bill will be automatically repealed on that date. This change provides more flexibility for retirement system members to consolidate their retirement contributions across different public service positions.
