Sec. 2.

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 new text begin under this subdivisionnew text end is payable and to determine
the amount of any postretirement adjustment new text begin under this subdivisionnew text end .

(b)new text begin (1)new text end 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.

preretirement interest assumption and postretirement interest assumption in section
356.215, subdivision 8, paragraph (a), ordeleted text end 2.5 percent deleted text begin for the Minneapolis Employees
Retirement Fund, the amount certified must not exceed 3.5 percentdeleted text end .

(c)new text begin If the amount calculated under paragraph (b), clause (1), is greater than the
maximum amount allowable under paragraph (b), clause (2), new text end 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 thenew text begin total fairnew text end 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;

(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);

(4) the state board shall add 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 to the amount determined under clause (3);

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

(6) the state board shall adjust the amount determined under clause (5) by the
cumulative current balance determined under clause (8) and any negative balance carried
forward under clause (9);

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

(8) 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

(9) to calculate the postretirement adjustment under this paragraph deleted text begin based on
investment performance for a fiscal yeardeleted text end , 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).new text begin The percentage determined under this paragraph is not payable
unless the amount calculated under paragraph (b), clause (1), is greater than 2.5 percent
and must not exceed the difference by which the amount calculated under paragraph (b),
clause (1), exceeds 2.5 percent.
new text end

(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 deleted text begin must be carried to five decimal places anddeleted text end 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. deleted text begin For the Minneapolisdeleted text end
deleted text begin 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.

workers all items index published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United
States Department of Labor from June 30 of the year before the person first received a
postretirement adjustment to June 30 of the current year. If a person received a prorated
increase under subdivision 9, paragraph (c), clause (2), the same ratio of the number
of months receiving a monthly benefit to 12 months must be applied to the inflation
calculation for the fiscal year used to calculate the prorated amount of lost purchasing
power for that period.

reduced to that portion of the full potential increase amount that equals the ratio that the
calculated result under this clause bears to the calculated result under clause (1).
 new text end

Minnesota Statutes 2007 Supplement, section 422A.06, subdivision 8, is
amended to read:


Subd. 8.

Retirement benefit fund.

(a) The retirement benefit fund consists of
amounts held for payment of retirement allowances for members retired under this chapter,
including any transfer amount payable under subdivision 3, paragraph (c).

(b) Unless subdivision 3, paragraph (c), applies, assets equal to the required
reserves for retirement allowances under this chapter determined in accordance with the
appropriate mortality table adopted by the board of trustees based on the experience of the
fund as recommended by the actuary retained under section 356.214 must be transferred
from the deposit accumulation fund to the retirement benefit fund as of the last business
day of the month in which the retirement allowance begins. The income from investments
of these assets must be allocated to this fund and any interest charge under subdivision
3, paragraph (c), must be credited to the fund. There must be paid from this fund the
retirement annuities authorized by law. A required reserve calculation for the retirement
benefit fund must be made by the actuary retained under section 356.214 and must be
certified to the retirement board by the actuary retained under section 356.214.

deleted text begin (c) The retirement benefit fund must be governed by the applicable laws governing
the accounting and audit procedures, investment, actuarial requirements, calculation and
payment of postretirement benefit adjustments, discharge of any deficiency in the assets
of the fund when compared to the actuarially determined required reserves, and other
applicable operations and procedures regarding the Minnesota postretirement investment
fund in effect on June 30, 1997, established under Minnesota Statutes 1996, section
11A.18, and any legal or administrative interpretations of those laws of the State Board
of Investment, the legal advisor to the Board of Investment and the executive director of
the State Board of Investment in effect on June 30, 1997. If a deferred yield adjustment
account is established for the Minnesota postretirement investment fund before June 30,
1997, under Minnesota Statutes 1996, section 11A.18, subdivision 5, the retirement board
shall also establish and maintain a deferred yield adjustment account within this fund.
deleted text end

new text begin (c) There is established a deferred yield adjustment account which must be increased
by the sale or disposition of any debt securities at less than book value and must be
decreased by the sale or disposition of debt securities at more than book value. At the
end of each fiscal year, a portion of the balance of this account must be offset against the
investment income for that year. The annual portion of the balance to be offset must be
proportional to the reciprocal of the average remaining life of the bonds sold, unless the
amounts are offset by gains on the future sales of these securities. The amount of this
account must be included in the recognized value of assets other than corporate stocks
and all other equity investments. In any fiscal year in which the gains on the sales of debt
securities exceed the discounts realized on the sales of such securities, the excess must
be used to reduce the balance of the account. If the realized capital gains are sufficient
to reduce the balance of the account to zero, any excess gains must be available for the
calculation of postretirement adjustments.
 new text end

new text begin (d)(1) Annually, following June 30, the board shall use the procedures in clauses (2),
(3), and (4), to determine whether a postretirement adjustment is payable and to determine
the amount of any postretirement adjustment.
 new text end

new text begin (2) 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
board shall certify the percentage increase. The amount certified must not exceed the
lesser of the difference between the preretirement interest assumption and postretirement
interest assumption in section 356.215, subdivision 8, paragraph (a), or 3.5 percent.
 new text end

new text begin (3) 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:
 new text end

new text begin (i) the board shall determine the market value of the fund on June 30 of that year;
 new text end

new text begin (ii) the amount of reserves required as of the current June 30 for the annuity or
benefit payable to an annuitant and benefit recipient 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. The amount
of the reserves for those annuitants and benefit recipients who are eligible to receive a
full postretirement benefit adjustment is known as "eligible reserves." The amount of
the reserves for those annuitants and benefit recipients who are not eligible to receive a
postretirement adjustment is known as "noneligible reserves." For an annuitant or benefit
recipient who is eligible to receive a partial postretirement adjustment, additional "eligible
reserves" is 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 are "noneligible reserves";

new text begin (iii) the board shall determine the percentage increase certified under clause (2)
multiplied by the eligible required reserves, as adjusted for mortality gains and losses,
determined under item (ii);
 new text end

new text begin (iv) the board shall add 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 to the amount determined under item (iii);
 new text end

new text begin (v) the board shall subtract the amount determined under item (iv) from the market
value of the fund determined under item (i);

new text begin (vi) the board shall adjust the amount determined under item (v) by the cumulative
current balance determined under item (viii) and any negative balance carried forward
under item (ix);
 new text end

new text begin (vii) a positive amount resulting from the calculations in items (i) to (vi) is the excess
market value. A negative amount is the negative balance;
 new text end

new text begin (viii) the 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
 new text end

new text begin (ix) to calculate the postretirement adjustment under this paragraph based on
investment performance for a fiscal year, the 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 item (ii).
 new text end

is payable using the following procedure:

end of the fiscal year for the annuitants and benefit recipients eligible to receive a full or
partial postretirement adjustment as determined by item (ii) must be certified to the 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
 new text end

new text begin (ii) the board shall add the percentage certified under clause (2) to any positive
percentage calculated under clause (3). The board shall not subtract from the percentage
certified under paragraph (b) any negative amount calculated under clause (3). The sum
of these percentages must be carried to five decimal places and must be certified as the
full postretirement adjustment percentage.
 new text end

new text begin (e) The board shall determine the amount of the postretirement adjustment payable
to each eligible annuitant and benefit recipient. The dollar amount of the postretirement
adjustment must be calculated by applying the certified postretirement adjustment
percentage to the amount of the monthly annuity or benefit payable to each eligible
annuitant or benefit recipient eligible for a full adjustment.
 new text end

new text begin The dollar amount of the partial postretirement adjustment payable to each annuitant
or benefit recipient eligible for a partial adjustment must be calculated by first determining
a partial percentage amount that bears the same ratio to the certified full adjustment
percentage amount as the number of full months of annuity or benefit receipt as of the
current June 30 bears to 12 full months. The partial percentage amount determined
must then be applied to the amount of the monthly annuity or benefit payable to each
annuitant or benefit recipient eligible to receive a partial postretirement adjustment. The
postretirement adjustments are payable on January 1 following the calculations required
under this section and must thereafter be included in the monthly annuity or benefit paid to
the recipient. Any adjustments under this section must be paid automatically unless the
intended recipient files a written notice with the applicable participating public pension
fund or plan requesting that the adjustment not be paid.

new text begin (f) As of June 30 annually, the actuary retained under section 356.214 shall calculate
the amount of required reserves representing any mortality gains and any mortality losses
incurred during the fiscal year and report the results of those calculations to the plan.
The actuary shall report separately the amount of the reserves for annuitants and benefit
recipients who are eligible for a postretirement benefit adjustment and the amount of
reserves for annuitants and benefit recipients who are not eligible for a postretirement
benefit adjustment. If the net amount of required reserves represents a mortality gain,
the board shall sell sufficient securities or transfer sufficient available cash to equal the
amount. If the amount of required reserves represents a mortality loss, the plan shall
transfer an amount equal to the amount of the net mortality loss. The amount of the
transfers must be determined before any postretirement benefit adjustments have been
made. All transfers resulting from mortality adjustments must be completed annually
by December 31 for the preceding June 30. Interest is payable on any transfers after
December 31 based upon the preretirement interest assumption for the participating plan
or fund as specified in section 356.215, subdivision 8, stated as a monthly rate. Book
values of the assets of the fund must be determined only after all adjustments for mortality
gains and losses for the fiscal year have been made.

Sec. 4.

Minnesota Statutes 2007 Supplement, section 353.32, subdivision 1a, is
amended to read:


Subd. 1a.

Surviving spouse optional annuity.

(a) If a member or former member
who has credit for not less than three years of allowable service and dies before the
annuity or disability benefit begins to accrue under section 353.29, subdivision 7, or
353.33, subdivision 2, notwithstanding any designation of beneficiary to the contrary, the
surviving spouse may elect to receive, instead of a refund with interest under subdivision
1, or surviving spouse benefits otherwise payable under section 353.31, an annuity equal
to a 100 percent joint and survivor annuity computed consistent with section 353.30,
subdivision 1a, 1c, or 5, whichever is applicable.

(b) If a member first became a public employee or a member of a pension fund listed
in section 356.30, subdivision 3, before July 1, 1989, and has credit for at least 30 years
of allowable service on the date of death, the surviving spouse may elect to receive a
100 percent joint and survivor annuity computed using section 353.30, subdivision 1b,
except that the early retirement reduction under that provision will be applied from age
62 back to age 55 and one-half of the early retirement reduction from age 55 back to
the age payment begins.

(c) If a member who was under age 55 and has credit for at least three years
of allowable service dies, but did not qualify for retirement on the date of death, the
surviving spouse may elect to receive a 100 percent joint and survivor annuity computed
using section 353.30, subdivision 1c or 5, as applicable, except that the early retirement
reduction specified in the applicable subdivision will be applied to age 55 and one-half of
the early retirement reduction from age 55 back to the age payment begins.

(d) Notwithstanding the definition of surviving spouse in section 353.01, subdivision
20, a former spouse of the member, if any, is entitled to a portion of the monthly surviving
spouse optional annuity if stipulated under the terms of a marriage dissolution decree filed
with the association. If there is no surviving spouse or child or children, a former spouse
may be entitled to a lump-sum refund payment under subdivision 1, if provided for in a
marriage dissolution decree, but not a monthly surviving spouse optional annuity, despite
the terms of a marriage dissolution decree filed with the association.

(e) The surviving spouse eligible for surviving spouse benefits under paragraph (a)
may apply for the annuity at any time after the date on which the deceased employee
would have attained the required age for retirement based on the employee's allowable
service. The surviving spouse eligible for surviving spouse benefits under paragraph (b) or
(c) may apply for an annuity any time after the member's death.

(f) Sections 353.34, subdivision 3, and 353.71, subdivision 2, apply to a deferred
annuity or surviving spouse benefit payable under this subdivision.

(g) An amount equal to any excess of the accumulated contributions that were
credited to the account of the deceased employee over and above the total of the annuities
paid and payable to the surviving spouse must be paid to the surviving spouse's estate.

(h) A member may specify in writingnew text begin , with the signed consent of the spouse,new text end that
this subdivision does not apply and that payment may be made only to the designated
beneficiary as otherwise provided by this chapter. The waiver of a surviving spouse
annuity under this section does not make a dependent child eligible for benefits under
subdivision 1c.

(i) If the deceased member or former member first became a public employee or a
member of a public pension plan listed in section 356.30, subdivision 3, on or after July
1, 1989, a survivor annuity computed under paragraph (a) or (c) must be computed as
specified in section 353.30, subdivision 5, except for the revised early retirement reduction
specified in paragraph (c), if paragraph (c) is the applicable provision.

(j) For any survivor annuity determined under this subdivision, the payment is to be
based on the total allowable service that the member had accrued as of the date of death
and the age of the member and surviving spouse on that date.

three years allowable service or who has credit for at least 30 years of allowable service,
regardless of age attained, dies before the annuity or disability benefit becomes payable,

20, a former spouse of the member, if any, is entitled to a portion of the death while
eligible survivor benefit if stipulated under the terms of a marriage dissolution decree
filed with the association. If there is no surviving spouse or child or children, a former
spouse may be entitled to a lump-sum refund payment under section 353.32, subdivision
1, if provided for in a marriage dissolution decree but not a death while eligible survivor
benefit despite the terms of a marriage dissolution decree filed with the association.

(c) The benefit may be elected instead of a refund with interest under section 353.32,
subdivision 1, or surviving spouse benefits otherwise payable under subdivisions 1 and
2. The benefit must be an annuity equal to the 100 percent joint and survivor annuity
which the member could have qualified for on the date of death, computed as provided in
sections 353.651, subdivisions 2 and 3, and 353.30, subdivision 3.

(d) The surviving spouse may apply for the annuity at any time after the date
on which the deceased employee would have attained the required age for retirement
based on the employee's allowable service. Sections 353.34, subdivision 3, and 353.71,
subdivision 2, apply to a deferred annuity payable under this subdivision.

(e) No payment accrues beyond the end of the month in which entitlement to
such annuity has terminated. An amount equal to the excess, if any, of the accumulated
contributions which were credited to the account of the deceased employee over and
above the total of the annuities paid and payable to the surviving spouse must be paid to
the deceased member's last designated beneficiary or, if none, to the legal representative of
the estate of such deceased member.

(f) Any member may request in writingnew text begin , with the signed consent of the spouse,new text end that
