Sir:
Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives in S.B. No. 2078, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SYSTEM,"
having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.
The purpose of this bill, as received, is to require the Employees' Retirement System (ERS) to pay interest on pensions that are not processed and issued within 90 days of a member's retirement.
Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by deleting its contents and inserting language that enables individuals who:
(1) After June 30, 2002, have at least 10 years of credited service as a firefighter and are deemed permanently medically disqualified to be a firefighter due to a service related disability by the employer's physician; and
(2) Continue employment in a class A or B contributory position other than a firefighter,
to have a retirement allowance of 2.5 percent of the individual's
average final compensation for credited years of service as a firefighter upon retirement.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2078, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2078, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, C.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:
