Abstract: Provides for the partial dissolution of a police department in the Municipal
Police Employees' Retirement System (MPERS).
Present law requires a police department that reduces its size by 50 or more participating
employees in a fiscal year to make certain unfunded accrued liability payments to MPERS
based on the size of the department prior to the reduction.
Proposed law increases to 100 the reduction that triggers such required payments.
