State lawmakers, Cabinet members, judges, school board members, county commissioners, sheriffs and property appraisers may not be able to join the traditional state pension plan if they are newly elected after July 2016.
That proposal is far from a reality but it is a distinct possibility as the House moves forward on a study aimed at evaluating potential changes in the $160 billion Florida Retirement System. The move to eliminate the option for a traditional pension for elected officials in the FRS is one of the proposals under review by House Speaker Steve Crisafulli, R-Merritt Island.
Crisafulli has called for a pension study that will be delivered in the first week of the 2015 session.
