SB452 Summary

  • Repeals Sections 16-33C-17 and 16-33C-19 from the 2010 PACT law that previously prevented the PACT Board from modifying the contractual relationship with purchasers involved in a class action lawsuit.

  • Authorizes the PACT Board to develop and implement any financially viable resolution with PACT purchasers and beneficiaries to address the actuarial deficit in the PACT Trust Fund.

  • Appropriates $63 million total from the Education Trust Fund to the PACT Trust Fund in four fiscal years: $10 million (2016), $20 million (2017), $20 million (2018), and $13 million (2019).

  • Removes language requiring these appropriations to fully fund the PACT Program at 100 percent and instead allows the Board flexibility in pursuing deficit resolutions.

  • Becomes effective immediately upon passage and approval by the Governor.
