HOUSE BILL NO. 1644 House Amendments in [ ] -- February 2, 1997 A BILL for the relief of Donald L. Wright. ---------- Patrons-- Johnson; Senators: Reasor and Wampler ---------- Referred to Committee on Claims ----------

Whereas, after 30 years of service to the Commonwealth of Virginia, Donald L. Wright retired on November 1, 1995; and

Whereas, prior to Mr. Wright's retirement, the Virginia Retirement System (VRS) calculated incorrectly Mr. Wright's monthly retirement benefit to be $2,089.55; and

Whereas, the monthly benefit that Mr. Wright receives is $1,821.65; and

Whereas, Mr. Wright based his decision to retire at age 58 on the incorrect calculation by the VRS and, as a result, has suffered a loss and will continue to suffer a monthly loss of $267.90 as a result of that miscalculation; and

Whereas, Donald L. Wright has no other means of relief except by action of this body; now, therefore,

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. § 1. That there is hereby allocated from the [ general fund appropriation funds appropriated ] to the Virginia Retirement System the lump sum of $5,358.00 payable on July 1, 1997, and monthly payments of $267.90 beginning in July of 1997 for the relief of Donald L. Wright and ending upon the death of Donald L. Wright. These amounts shall be paid by check issued by the State Treasurer on a warrant issued by the Comptroller, upon execution by Donald L. Wright of a release of all claims he may have against the Commonwealth or any of its political subdivisions or their officers, employees, or agents.
