STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 15753
By virtue of Chapter 211, Laws of 1990, the Legislature amended various
sections of Title 72, Chapter 14, Idaho Code, the Firemen s Retirement
Fund (FRF), to delete reference to the provisions relating to firemen
hired between July 1, 1978 and October 1, 1980, the effective date of
the statutory "merger" of the FRF into the Public Employees Retirement
System of Idaho (PERSI). As set forth in the Statement of Purpose of
Senate Bill 1525, there were approximately 41 paid firemen hired during
this 27 month period who were entitled to significantly less retirement
benefits than all the other approximately 340 paid fireman members of
the FRF, even though by virtue of other FRF statutes, the employee and
employer contribution rates of the 1978-1980 members were identical to
the other FRF members. The purpose of the 1990 legislation was to
assure equitable pension benefit treatment to all paid fireman members
of the FRF whose employer and employee contribution rates were
identical.
This bill will amend Chapter 211, Laws of 1990, to clarify that the
provisions of the in-service disability provisions of that act also
shall be deemed to apply to all paid firemen hired between July 1,
1978, and October 1, 1980, who were incapacitated in the performance of
duty and whose retirement date was prior to the April 3, 1990,
effective date of that act, provided that any back benefits payable
shall not include interest thereon, and shall not be considered
underpayments under Section 59-1327(6), currently Section 59-1305(6)
FISCAL IMPACT
This bill would have no impact on the General Fund. There will be
approximately $70,000 in past liability costs to the Firefighters
Retirement Fund and approximately $105,000 in future liability costs.
The actuary estimates this total increase of about .065% of the
liabilities would not affect the funding ratio, amortization period, or
contribution rates for the Firefighters Retirement Fund.
