A. If an actuarial investigation of a retirement bill having a fiscal impact is requested under Section 3108 of this title, it shall be the duty of the Legislative Actuary to complete or cause to be completed such actuarial investigation by not later than December 1 of the same year during which the request for the actuarial investigation was made. The actuarial investigation shall include, but shall not be limited to, findings on the following factors as such factors are relevant to the retirement bill under consideration:
1. The dollar amount of the unfunded actuarial accrued liability which will result from the bill for the retirement system affected by the bill;
2. The dollar amount of the annual normal cost which will result from the bill for the retirement system affected by the bill;
3. A statement of the employer contribution rate currently in effect for the retirement system affected by the bill;
4. A statement of the employer contribution rate necessary for the retirement system to receive the required annual employer contributions consistent with the most recently available valuation report prepared by the actuary employed by the retirement system affected by the bill;
5. A statement of the dollar amount of the increase in the annual employer contribution, if an existing retirement system is affected by the bill, or a statement of the total annual employer contribution, if a new retirement system is established by the bill, which will be necessary to maintain the retirement system affected or established by the bill in an actuarially sound condition thereby creating no increase in unfunded liability as defined by the most recent actuarial evaluation of an existing system; and
6. A statement of the effect on the funded ratio for the retirement system affected by the bill.
B. By not later than December 1 of the same year that the request for an actuarial investigation was made, the completed actuarial investigation shall be submitted by the Legislative Actuary to the chair of the committee who requested it along with a summary of the actuarial investigation which shall include the relevant findings specified in subsection A of this section.
C. The chair of the committee, upon receipt of the information provided for under subsection B of this section, shall cause the summary of the actuarial investigation to be attached to all copies of the version of the bill submitted to the Legislative Actuary and made available to committee members, other legislators and any other interested parties. The original summary of the actuarial investigation shall be attached to the original version of the substitute bill, as amended by the committee under Section 3108 of this title, if applicable, or to the original version of the bill as introduced if the bill was not changed by the committee prior to its submission to the Legislative Actuary for an actuarial investigation.
