Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

207 provisions identified: 186 benefits, 14 costs, 7 mixed.

More funding for firefighter pay

The law adds $850,000 to Louisiana's Firefighters' Supplemental Payments Program for FY 2025–2026. Payments follow the program's existing eligibility rules. The law does not raise the payment amount for each firefighter or change who qualifies.

State employee benefits receive operating funds

The law provides $100 million from fees and self-generated revenues to the State Group Benefits Program. The money pays contractual obligations and operating expenses. This appropriation does not change participant eligibility or individual benefits.

More funding for public employee pensions

The state employees' retirement system gets about $144.27 million from the certified Fiscal Year 2024–2025 surplus. Both the state employees' and teachers' systems get about $1.18 million each for unpaid pension liabilities dating to June 30, 1988. The law also divides one-time Fiscal Year 2024–2025 revenues proportionally among qualifying state retirement systems. To qualify, a system must still have an unpaid pension debt repayment balance dating to June 30, 1988. Its funded ratio must be below 80%, based on the latest valuation adopted by the state's retirement actuarial committee. These payments fund pension systems, not individual pension increases.
