HB 473 Virginia Retirement System; employer contributions.
Introduced by: David L. Bulova | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Virginia Retirement System; employer contributions. Separates the employer contribution for Virginia Retirement System (VRS) employers participating in the Hybrid Retirement Plan into defined benefit and defined contribution components. The bill requires the Board of Trustees of VRS to certify to each employer their defined benefit contribution rate and to provide to each employer their estimated defined contribution amounts.
Under current law, VRS is required to determine a single combined employer contribution rate that includes both the defined benefit and defined contribution provisions. Employer contributions are then applied first to the defined contribution component of the hybrid retirement program, with the remainder applied to the defined benefit component.
The substantive provisions of the bill have a delayed effective date of July 1, 2024. However, the bill directs VRS to make the preparations necessary for full implementation of the bill beginning July 1, 2022. This bill is identical to SB 70.
