  • Elected officials first elected or appointed on or after November 1, 2010 are limited to two computation factor options for retirement benefits: 1.9% (with 4.5% contribution rate) or 4.0% (with 10% contribution rate), eliminating intermediate options available to earlier officials

  • Retirees returning to work for a participating employer cannot be rehired by their former employer for one year after ending employment, unless they waive retirement benefits and return as a bona fide employee

  • Simplifies the judicial retirement notification process by requiring justices and judges to file retirement declarations with the System and Court Administrator rather than requiring gubernatorial approval
