§ GV.802.302. PREPARATION OF ACTUARIAL ANALYSIS

PREPARATION OF ACTUARIAL ANALYSIS. (a) The board shall request a public retirement system affected by a bill or resolution as described by Section 802.301 (a) to provide the board with an actuarial analysis. (b) An actuarial analysis required by this section must be prepared by an actuary who is a fellow of the Society of Actuaries, a member of the American Academy of Actuaries, or an enrolled actuary under the Employees Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (29 U.S.C. Section 1001 et seq.). (c) A public retirement system that receives a request under Subsection (a) must provide the board with an actuarial analysis on or before the 21st day after the date of the request, if the request relates to a bill or resolution introduced for consideration during a regular legislative session. (d) The board shall adopt deadlines for the provision under this section of an actuarial analysis that relates to a bill or resolution introduced for consideration during a called legislative session. The deadlines must be designed to provide the most complete information practicable in a timely manner. (e) The board may prepare an actuarial analysis for a public retirement system that receives a request under Subsection (a) and does not provide the board with an actuarial analysis within the required period under Subsection (c) or (d). (f) The public retirement system may reimburse the board's costs incurred in preparing an actuarial analysis under Subsection (e). (g) For each actuarial analysis that a public retirement system prepares, the board shall have a second actuary: (1) review the actuarial analysis accompanying the bill or resolution; and (2) comment on the reasonableness of each actuarial assumption used in the public retirement system's actuarial analysis. (h) Even if a public retirement system prepares an actuarial analysis under Subsection (c) or (d), the board may have a second actuary prepare a separate actuarial analysis. (i) A public retirement system is not prohibited from providing to the legislature any actuarial analysis or information that the system determines necessary or proper.
