HB 674 -- Legislators' Retirement Sponsor: Hagan-Harrell Under current law, a legislator's retirement annuity is based on the number of biennial assemblies. This bill changes the basis to the years of service. Effective August 28, 2001, the bill makes 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 special consultants on the problems related to retirement. As compensation for consulting duties, the former member 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
