Ways and Means subcommittee schedules work session on Senate Bill 5534 (public employee retirement)

The co-chair of the Joint Committee on Ways and Means Subcommittee on General Government said the panel will repost Senate Bill 5534, concerning the Public Employee Retirement System, for a work session on June 4, 2025.

The scheduling announcement came at the brief opening of the committee’s June 3 work session. The co-chair said, “we're gonna repost senate bill 5 5 3 4 public employee retirement System, for a hearing tomorrow, or in a work session tomorrow, excuse me.” A committee member identified as John added that the committee will also have a work session with the State Treasurer on Thursday.

The discussion was procedural: committee leaders set meeting logistics and did not take any formal votes or adopt policy. The co-chair opened the meeting, confirmed the schedule, asked for any other business and then adjourned the session within minutes.

No bill content, amendments, fiscal notes or stakeholder testimony were discussed on the record in this brief meeting. The committee provided only scheduling direction: Senate Bill 5534 will be considered at a work session the following day and a separate session involving the State Treasurer is set for Thursday. Because the meeting did not include a formal motion or vote on the bill itself, no legislative action was recorded at this session.

Committee staff or the committee’s published agenda should be consulted for the exact times, materials, and any fiscal analyses to be discussed at the June 4 work session or the Thursday meeting with the State Treasurer.
