HB 1198 (orginally HB 60) by Rep. Kevin Pearson would require the merger of the Teachers Retirement System of Louisiana and the Louisiana School Employees Retirement System. This risky consolidation abolish LSERS and transfer all its property, rights, obligations and employees into the teachers’ system. In the process, 40 employees would lose their jobs within a year, greatly increasing the work load on remaining staff, which could cause a reduction in services for the members of the merged systems.
This bill is yet another example of legislative meddling with systems that are working well and serving their purposes. Please contact your state representative today and urge them to vote NO on HB 1198. asking your legislator to vote against this bill!
