Take Action: Legislators shouldn't pull the rug from under retiring teachers
01/16/2016

 

UPDATE Oppose%20HB%201325%20-%20FB.png(1/17/16): We've been informed that HB 1325 will NOT be moving forward. Thank you for your efforts!

 

HB 1325 (Rep. Wes Culver, R – Goshen) would replace the “rule of 85” with the “rule of 95,” thus ending early retirement options for most eligible employees in Indiana’s public retirement system. The bill would impact most any public employee after June 30, 2016—police and fire employees were not included.

 

This legislation deprives employees of an option they have historically been provided.

 

The bill gives public employees, including teachers, until July 1 (6 months) to retire under the current Rule of 85.

 

The fiscal impact analysis on this bill has not been developed. However, the cost to schools and students could be high. It’s important to note that this bill has not been scheduled for a hearing in committee and we don't know if it will. But let’s make it clear this bill shouldn’t be considered. Tell legislators to vote no to HB 1325.
