HB 659 -- Legislators' Retirement Sponsor: Hagan-Harrell This bill increases the multiplier used to calculate retirement for members of the General Assembly from $150 to $160. Effective August 28, 2001, the bill requires former members of the General Assembly who served at least 2 full terms and had no creditable service for the same period in another system to be made special consultants on the problems related to retirement. As compensation for consulting duties, former members will be entitled to retire with a normal annuity effective the first of the month following application. In no event will retroactive benefits be paid.Copyright (c) Missouri House of Representatives
