AI Summary

  • Allows members with 10+ years of service to purchase up to 5 additional years of service credit using Tier 2 contribution rates, with service earned as a Tier 2-only participant counting toward the 10-year requirement.

  • Permits Tier 2-only participants who elected or were automatically enrolled in Tier 2 before July 1, 2025 to make a one-time election to switch to Tier 1 membership effective August 30, 2025, with only post-changeover service and compensation counting toward their retirement allowance.

  • Eliminates employee cost-sharing for members first becoming members on or after February 1, 2018, making all normal cost and unfunded actuarial accrued liability contributions the employer's responsibility.

  • Changes default enrollment for new employees hired after July 1, 2024 to Tier 1 membership (unless they elect Tier 2), reversing the prior default to Tier 2-only status for those hired between February 1, 2018 and July 1, 2024.
