*The New Hampshire Retirement System states it is not able to separate the fiscal impact of this legislation between county and local government, therefore the fiscal impact is shown together as political subdivisions.

The Office of Legislative Budget Assistant is awaiting information from the New Hampshire Retirement System. The New Hampshire Retirement System was originally contacted on 01/08/2024 and most recently contacted on 03/11/2024 for a fiscal note worksheet. If information is received, a revised fiscal note will be forward to the House Clerk’s Office

METHODOLOGY:

This bill appropriates $50,000,000 from the General Fund for fiscal year ending June 30, 2024 to the New Hampshire Retirement System to pay down the Unfunded Accrued Liability. The NHRS's actuary has confirmed that contributions for fiscal years 2024 and 2025 are certified and will remain unchanged. However, the potential impact on fiscal years 2026 and 2027 is indeterminable due to a variety of factors and the actual employer rates for fiscal years 2026-2027 will be determined based on the June 30, 2023 actuarial valuation.
