Fiscal Detail and Notes
Allowing certain participating local district (PLD) employees who become employed by the Department of Public Safety as a result of the consolidation of public safety dispatching services to elect to include the previously earned PLD service credit with service earned as a State employee may result in increased costs to the State.  The amount can not be determined at this time.  Because there are significant differences between the PLD regular plan and the State employee regular plan, the impact and cost of this portability provision will vary by individual member.  The actual cost of this measure will depend on which specific employees elect to have their previously earned service credit included with service credit earned as a state employee.
