All new employees of state employers on and after July 1, 2024 will be required to join the group III defined contribution plan as administered by the retirement system, and any other group I employees may join. Members of the new plan would contribute a minimum of 5% of compensation but could elect a higher percentage within IRS limits. This bill also requires the State to contribute a minimum 50% match of member contributions. Each member would have an individual account and the ability to direct how it is invested among the fund options offered.\n\nThe New Hampshire Retirement System (NHRS) actuary provided valuations based upon data used to estimate the costs between the impact of the proposed defined contribution plan and the impact of the current defined benefit plan. Per NHRS's request the actuary assumed only Group I state employees who are current members in the defined benefit plan as of July 1, 2024 would participated. The increase in the defined contribution plan beginning in FY 2025 has the assumptions that the employer contribution match will be 100% of the minimum defined contribution member contribution rate of 5% of pay. The employer rate is applied to expect payroll for Group I state employees hired on or after July 1, 2024 with the impact beginning in FY 2025 when the participation in the defined contribution plan would commence. The costs will continue to increase accordingly as more new hires are eligible for the plan.\n\nState Impact\n\nDefined Contribution Plan\n\nExpected Employer Dollar Increase (Decrease) Due to Proposal\n\nFY 2023\n\nFY 2024\n\nFY 2025\n\nFY 2026\n\nEmployees\n\n-\n\n-\n\n$3,200,560\n\n$5,964,740\n\nPolice\n\n-\n\n-\n\n-\n\n$0\n\nFire\n\n-\n\n-\n\n-\n\n$0\n\nTOTAL\n\n$0\n\n$0\n\n$3,200,560\n\n$5,964,740\n\nThe NHRS actuary also provided the valuation for the Defined Benefit Plan with a current expectation of the annual rate of investment return on NHRS assets as 6.75%. Actual employer contribution rates for FY 2026 will be based on the June 30, 2023 actuarial valuation with the defined benefit plan reflecting the impact on employer contributions beginning in FY 2026 as shown. It should be noted the fiscal impact of this bill will go well beyond FY 2026.\n\nSTATE IMPACT\n\nDefined Benefit Plan\n\nExpected Employer Dollar Increase (Decrease) Due to Proposal\n\nFY 2023\n\nFY 2024\n\nFY 2025\n\nFY 2026\n\nEmployees\n\n-\n\n-\n\n-\n\n$15,158,796\n\nPolice\n\n-\n\n-\n\n-\n\n$2,322,488\n\nFire\n\n-\n\n-\n\n-\n\n$96,179\n\nTOTAL\n\n$0\n\n$0\n\n$0\n\n$17,577,463\n\nPOLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS IMPACT\n\nDefined Benefit Plan\n\nExpected Employer Dollar Increase (Decrease) Due to Proposal\n\nFY 2023\n\nFY 2024\n\nFY 2025\n\nFY 2026\n\nEmployees\n\n-\n\n-\n\n-\n\n$5,814,006\n\nTeachers\n\n-\n\n-\n\n-\n\n$14,381,108\n\nPolice\n\n-\n\n-\n\n-\n\n$5,962,728\n\nFire\n\n-\n\n-\n\n-\n\n$3,342,521\n\nTOTAL\n\n$0\n\n$0\n\n$0\n\n$29,500,363\n\nThe New Hampshire Retirement System (NHRS) states they have assumed the proposed defined contribution plan is a stand-alone plan and separately administered versus being a component of the current NHRS plan administered by the Board of Trustees and staff. The NHRS has not calculated or included costs relating to the establishment, management, and administration of the new plan. However, they do state the proposed changes in the bill will involve costs to the NHRS as they would still need to allow withdrawals of contributions for current plans to rollover to the new plan. The impact will be in the form of administrative costs relating to reprogramming of the pension administration system, revisions to administrative procedures member communications, website updates and staff training which will result in an indeterminable increase in expenditures. The NHRS also states they are currently in the process of upgrading the pension administration system and the proposed changes would require updates to the current and future systems and procedures increasing administrative costs and challenges.\n\nThe NHRS indicates there are several ambiguities in the provisions of this bill as well as conflicting and ambiguous language regarding the management and administration of the plan, as stated above, and the investment of plan assets. There is also some misleading language in terms of Group I and Group II classifications of members. Below are several examples of issues cited by the NHRS:\n\nreferencing the new plan is intended to qualify under Section 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. This is not permitted as governmental employers can only sponsor a 403(b) plan for its employees employed by public schools.\n\ninclusion of language appearing that general court employees would be provided optional membership in the new plan when they would not be eligible based on the term \"retirement system\" as used throughout RSA 100-A.\n\nreferencing \u201cprocedures adopted by the state treasurer with the advice of the committee\u201d where there are no provision establishing this.\n\nambiguous language on who is managing and administering the plan and investments.\n\n\u201c[t]he board of trustees may contract with a third-party administrator for the retirement system defined contribution plan for the administration of assets accumulated under each participant\u2019s account.\u201d\n\n\u201cThe administrator shall provide a range of investment options and permit a participant to exercise investment control over the participant\u2019s assets in the member\u2019s individual account as provided in this section.\u201d\n\n\u201c[t]he administrator of the plan shall be the executive director, who shall have the assistance and services of the department of administrative services for all duties and responsibilities under this subdivision.\u201d\n\nLastly, the NHRS offers no opinion on whether the provisions of the proposed plan would meet the regulatory requirements for a defined contribution plan under the Internal Revenue Code. The NHRS would recommend engagement of qualified legal, actuarial, and pension professionals as to whether the regulatory requirements for the defined contribution plan are met under the Internal Revenue Code, i.e. plan design, documentation, and administration under the applicable federal requirements.\n\nAGENCIES CONTACTED:\n\nNew Hampshire Retirement System", "in_text": [], "chars": 16809}, "nver": 0, "namd": 0, "rsa": {"RSA 100-A:3": "/laws/100-a#s3", "RSA 100-A:16": "/laws/100-a#s16", "RSA 21-I:95": "/laws/21-i#s95", "RSA 100-A": "/laws/100-a", "RSA 101-B": "/laws/101-b", "RSA 541-A": "/laws/541-a", "RSA 21-I:26": "/laws/21-i#s26", "RSA 21-I:36": "/laws/21-i#s36", "RSA 100-A:59": "/laws/100-a", "RSA 100-A:58": "/laws/100-a#s58", "RSA 100-A:69": "/laws/100-a"}, "amends": {"RSA 100-A:3": "/laws/100-a#s3", "RSA 100-A": "/laws/100-a"}, "related": [{"g": 1, "o": "2019-2020/HB629", "n": "HB 629-FN-LOCAL", "t": "establishing a state defined contribution retirement plan for state and political subdivision members of the retirement system.", "y": 2019, "c": "Died", "s": "Filed before as {b}, with much the same text."}]}
