PERF and TRF administrative matters. (Boots, Crouch)
Digest
Removes a provision requiring the teachers' retirement fund (TRF) to maintain
separate accounts for each employer within the retirement allowance account of the
1996 account. Permits a member of the public employees' retirement fund (PERF) or
TRF who is eligible for an early retirement to withdraw the member's annuity savings
account without applying for a retirement benefit. Requires, after December 31, 2011,
that an employer of participants in: (1) the state excise police, gaming agent, gaming
control officer, and conservation enforcement officers' retirement fund; (2) the judges'
retirement system; (3) the prosecuting attorneys' retirement fund (PARF); and (4) the
1977 police officers' and firefighters' pension and disability fund (1977 Fund); submit
SB0012
contributions, reports, and records electronically. Authorizes the PERF board of
trustees to establish due dates for contributions, reports, and records submitted by an
employer. Permits an administrative law judge, for cause shown, to order the waiver or
extension of the 180-day limit in which the PERF board of trustees is required to issue
a final order after the date the PERF board receives a local board's initial disability
determination or the PERF director initiates a review of a default disability award for a
1977 Fund member. Makes technical corrections to remove references to the auditor of
state in connection with the administration of PERF. Codifies P.L.33-2006, Section 4,
concerning PARF and repeals the noncode provision. Makes technical corrections in
conformity with amendments in P.L.22-1998 to the 1977 Fund that reduced from 55 to
52 the age at which a fund member reaches regular retirement status. (The introduced
version of this bill was prepared by the pension management oversight commission.)

SB0215 Forfeiture. (Bray, Foley)
Digest
Requires counties to create an asset forfeiture account. Provides that, in a forfeiture
proceeding, 1/3 of the proceeds may be provided to the prosecuting attorney or an
attorney retained by the prosecuting attorney in a forfeiture action, unless the
prosecuting attorney has declined a request from the state police department to transfer
the forfeiture to federal jurisdiction, in which case 20% of the proceeds but no more
than $5,000 may be transferred to the prosecuting attorney. Provides that of the
remaining proceeds, 15% shall be provided to the common school fund and 85% shall
be distributed to an account for distribution to law enforcement agencies participating
in the seizure as necessary law enforcement expenses. Specifies that money or the
proceeds of seized property placed in a county asset forfeiture account may be
disbursed only by action of the county legislative body under a claim submitted by a
law enforcement agency or prosecuting attorney, and must be disbursed pursuant to an
interlocal agreement, if applicable. Permits a prosecuting attorney to retain an attorney
to bring a forfeiture action only if the attorney general reviews the compensation
agreement between the prosecuting attorney and the retained attorney, and requires
that the compensation agreement with the attorney be capped at: (1) 33 1/3% of the
first $10,000 of the amount of the proceeds or money obtained; (2) 25% of the part of
the amount between $10,000 and $100,000; and (3) 20% of the part of the amount that
is at least $100,000; unless a court finds that the forfeiture action is unusually
complex. Requires a court to notify the Indiana criminal justice institute of the amount
and manner of a forfeiture distribution. Provides that a prosecuting attorney or deputy
prosecuting attorney who engages in a forfeiture action for the prosecuting attorney's
office may not receive a contingency fee.

Public employees' defined contribution plan. (Boots, Walker, Torr)
Digest
Establishes a defined contribution plan (plan) as an option for new state employees. A
state employee who does not elect to become a member of the plan becomes a member
of the public employees' retirement fund (PERF). Requires the PERF board of trustees
(board) to establish the same investment options for the plan that are available for the
investment of a PERF member's annuity savings account. Provides that a member's
contribution to the plan is 3% of the member's compensation and is paid by the state
on behalf of the member. Provides that the state's employer contribution rate for the
plan is equal to the state's employer contribution rate for PERF. Provides that the
amount credited from the employer's contribution rate to the member's account shall
not be greater than the normal cost of PERF with any amount not credited to the
member's account applied to PERF's unfunded accrued liability. Establishes a
minimum state employer contribution of 3% of plan members' compensation.
SB0524 Establishes a five year vesting schedule for employer contributions, and requires a
member who terminates state employment before the member is fully vested to forfeit
amounts that are not vested. Establishes provisions for the withdrawal of amounts in
member accounts. Authorizes rollover contributions to the plan. Urges the legislative
council to assign to the pension management oversight commission (commission) the
study of whether to create a defined contribution plan as an option for new employees
of political subdivisions that participate in PERF and for new employees who are
eligible to become members of the teachers' retirement fund. Requires, if the
commission is assigned the topic, that the commission issue a final report containing
the commission's findings and recommendations, including any recommended
legislation, not later than November 1, 2011.

an individual with experience in professional financial accounting or actuarial science;
and (7) one member nominated by the treasurer of state: the treasurer of state or an
individual with experience in economics, finance, or investments. Requires that initial
appointments to the board give a preference for those individuals who, on June 30,

trustee appointed to the board serves until the trustee's term would have expired under
prior law. Provides for a four year term for trustees. Provides that a trustee is strongly

board's powers and duties are the combined powers and duties of the PERF and TRF
boards. Provides that each retirement fund continues as a separate fund managed by
the board. Provides for a director of the system who is appointed by and serves at the
pleasure of the board. Provides that employees of PERF and TRF remain members of

director expressly determines otherwise. Allows the board to establish contribution
rate groups for PERF, and removes the requirement that each employer have a
separate account within the retirement allowance account. Eliminates the 1977 Fund
