BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA:

Section 1.

Minnesota Statutes 2006, section 11A.18, subdivision 9, is amended to read:

Subd. 9.

Calculation of postretirement adjustment.

(a) Annually, following June
30, the state board shall use the procedures in paragraphs (b), (c), and (d) to determine
whether a postretirement adjustment is payable and to determine the amount of any
postretirement adjustment.

(b) If the Consumer Price Index for urban wage earners and clerical workers all
items index published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department
of Labor increases from June 30 of the preceding year to June 30 of the current year,
the state board shall certify the percentage increase. The amount certified must not
exceed deleted text begin the lesser of the difference between the preretirement interest assumption and
postretirement interest assumption in section 356.215, subdivision 8, paragraph (a), or deleted text end
2.5 percent. For the Minneapolis Employees Retirement Fund, the amount certified must
not exceed 3.5 percent.

(c) In addition to any percentage increase certified under paragraph (b), the board
shall use the following procedures to determine if a postretirement adjustment is payable
under this paragraph:

(1) the state board shall determine the market value of the fund on June 30 of that
year;

(2) the amount of reserves required as of the current June 30 for the annuity or
benefit payable to an annuitant and benefit recipient of the participating public pension
plans or funds must be determined by the actuary retained under section 356.214. An
annuitant or benefit recipient who has been receiving an annuity or benefit for at least 12
full months as of the current June 30 is eligible to receive a full postretirement adjustment.
An annuitant or benefit recipient who has been receiving an annuity or benefit for at
least one full month, but less than 12 full months as of the current June 30, is eligible to
receive a partial postretirement adjustment. Each fund shall report separately the amount
of the reserves for those annuitants and benefit recipients who are eligible to receive
a full postretirement benefit adjustment. This amount is known as "eligible reserves."
Each fund shall also report separately the amount of the reserves for those annuitants
and benefit recipients who are not eligible to receive a postretirement adjustment. This
amount is known as "noneligible reserves." For an annuitant or benefit recipient who is
eligible to receive a partial postretirement adjustment, each fund shall report separately
as additional "eligible reserves" an amount that bears the same ratio to the total reserves
required for the annuitant or benefit recipient as the number of full months of annuity
or benefit receipt as of the current June 30 bears to 12 full months. The remainder of
the annuitant's or benefit recipient's reserves must be separately reported as additional
"noneligible reserves." The amount of "eligible" and "noneligible" required reserves
must be certified to the board by the actuary retained under section 356.214 as soon as is
practical following the current June 30;

deleted text begin (3) The state board shall determine the percentage increase certified under paragraph
(b) multiplied by the eligible required reserves, as adjusted for mortality gains and losses
under subdivision 11, determined under clause (2);
deleted text end

deleted text begin (4) deleted text end new text begin (3) new text end the state board shall deleted text begin add deleted text end new text begin multiply new text end the amount of reserves required for the
annuities or benefits payable to annuitants and benefit recipients of the participating public
pension plans or funds as of the current June 30 deleted text begin to the amount determined under clause
(3) deleted text end new text begin by the factor 1.085 new text end ;

deleted text begin (5) deleted text end new text begin (4) new text end the state board shall subtract the amount determined under clause deleted text begin (4) deleted text end new text begin (3) new text end from
the market value of the fund determined under clause (1);

deleted text begin (6) deleted text end new text begin (5) new text end the state board shall adjust the amount determined under clause deleted text begin (5) deleted text end new text begin (4) new text end by
the cumulative current balance determined under clause deleted text begin (8) deleted text end new text begin (7) new text end and any negative balance
carried forward under clause deleted text begin (9) deleted text end new text begin (8) new text end ;

deleted text begin (7) deleted text end new text begin (6) new text end a positive amount resulting from the calculations in clauses (1) to deleted text begin (6) deleted text end new text begin (5) new text end is
the excess market value. A negative amount is the negative balance;

deleted text begin (8) deleted text end new text begin (7) new text end the state board shall allocate one-fifth of the excess market value or one-fifth
of the negative balance to each of five consecutive years, beginning with the fiscal year
ending the current June 30; and

deleted text begin (9) deleted text end new text begin (8) new text end to calculate the postretirement adjustment under this paragraph based on
investment performance for a fiscal year, the state board shall add together all excess
market value allocated to that year and subtract from the sum all negative balances
allocated to that year. If this calculation results in a negative number, the entire negative
balance must be carried forward and allocated to the next year. If the resulting amount is
positive, a postretirement adjustment is payable under this paragraph. The board shall
express a positive amount as a percentage of the total eligible required reserves certified to
the board under clause (2).

(d) The state board shall determine the amount of any postretirement adjustment
which is payable using the following procedure:

(1) the total "eligible" required reserves as of the first of January next following the
end of the fiscal year for the annuitants and benefit recipients eligible to receive a full or
partial postretirement adjustment as determined by clause (2) must be certified to the state
board by the actuary retained under section 356.214. The total "eligible" required reserves
must be determined by the actuary retained under section 356.214 on the assumption that
all annuitants and benefit recipients eligible to receive a full or partial postretirement
adjustment will be alive on the January 1 in question; and

(2) the state board shall add the percentage certified under paragraph (b) to any
positive percentage calculated under paragraph (c). The board shall not subtract from the
percentage certified under paragraph (b) any negative amount calculated under paragraph
(c). The sum of these percentages must be carried to five decimal places and must be
certified to each participating public pension fund or plan as the full postretirement
adjustment percentage. The full postretirement adjustment percentage certified to each
participating public pension plan or fund must not exceed five percent. For the Minneapolis
Employees Retirement Fund, no maximum percentage adjustment is applicable.

(e) A retirement annuity payable in the event of retirement before becoming eligible
for Social Security benefits as provided in section 352.116, subdivision 3; 353.29,
subdivision 6; or 354.35 must be treated as the sum of a period certain retirement annuity
and a life retirement annuity for the purposes of any postretirement adjustment. The
period certain retirement annuity plus the life retirement annuity must be the annuity
amount payable until age 62 or 65, whichever applies. A postretirement adjustment
granted on the period certain retirement annuity must terminate when the period certain
retirement annuity terminates.

for full funding must be determined using the following procedure:

(i) the unfunded actuarial accrued liability of the fund must be determined in
accordance with the plan provisions governing annuities and retirement benefits and the
actuarial assumptions in effect before an applicable change;

(ii) the level annual dollar contribution or level percentage, whichever is applicable,
needed to amortize the unfunded actuarial accrued liability amount determined under item
(i) by the established date for full funding in effect before the change must be calculated
using the interest assumption specified in subdivision 8 in effect before the change;

(iii) the unfunded actuarial accrued liability of the fund must be determined in
accordance with any new plan provisions governing annuities and benefits payable from
the fund and any new actuarial assumptions and the remaining plan provisions governing
annuities and benefits payable from the fund and actuarial assumptions in effect before
the change;

(iv) the level annual dollar contribution or level percentage, whichever is applicable,
needed to amortize the difference between the unfunded actuarial accrued liability amount
calculated under item (i) and the unfunded actuarial accrued liability amount calculated
under item (iii) over a period of 30 years from the end of the plan year in which the
applicable change is effective must be calculated using the applicable interest assumption
specified in subdivision 8 in effect after any applicable change;

(v) the level annual dollar or level percentage amortization contribution under item
(iv) must be added to the level annual dollar amortization contribution or level percentage
calculated under item (ii);

(vi) the period in which the unfunded actuarial accrued liability amount determined
in item (iii) is amortized by the total level annual dollar or level percentage amortization
contribution computed under item (v) must be calculated using the interest assumption
specified in subdivision 8 in effect after any applicable change, rounded to the nearest
integral number of years, but not to exceed 30 years from the end of the plan year in
which the determination of the established date for full funding using the procedure set
forth in this clause is made and not to be less than the period of years beginning in the
plan year in which the determination of the established date for full funding using the
procedure set forth in this clause is made and ending by the date for full funding in effect

(vii) the period determined under item (vi) must be added to the date as of which
the actuarial valuation was prepared and the date obtained is the new established date
for full funding.

as a level percentage of pay over a 30-year period beginning anew with each annual
actuarial valuation of the plan.

new text begin (k) In addition to calculating the unfunded actuarial accrued liability of the
retirement plan for financial reporting purposes under paragraphs (a) to (j), the actuarial
valuation of the retirement plan must also include a calculation of the unfunded actuarial
accrued liability of the retirement plan for purposes of determining the amortization
contribution sufficient to amortize the unfunded actuarial liability of the Minnesota Post
Retirement Investment Fund. For this exhibit, the calculation must be the unfunded
actuarial accrued liability net of the postretirement adjustment liability funded from
the investment performance of the Minnesota Post Retirement Investment Fund or the
retirement benefit fund.
