PERS bill set to phase in employer rate increase heads to governor’s desk
SUMMARY: Mississippi's public employees' retirement system (PERS) will see financial changes as Senate Bill 3231 heads to Gov. Tate Reeves' desk. The bill prevents a 2% employer rate increase in July 2024, substituting it with a 0.5% hike each year until 2028. Future rate changes by the PERS Board will require two independent actuarial assessments and legislative approval. House Speaker Jason White affirmed that the measure, intended to address a potential $25 billion funding issue, won't affect current employees or retirees but aims to ensure financial obligations can be met without burdening taxpayers. Further PERS reforms may be considered in 2025.
