Representative Maggard, chair of the State Administration Budget Subcommittee, presented proposed committee bill PCB SAB 26-04 — described as the annual retirement bill — saying it updates employer contribution rates for the normal cost and unfunded actuarial liabilities for the Florida Retirement System based on the annual actuarial study for fiscal year 2026–27 and that the change results in an estimated $31,700,000 savings to the state.
The committee conducted no public testimony, and with no questions or debate the panel held a roll call and reported the bill favorably. Vice Chair Cheney and the clerk announced the bill had passed the subcommittee.
The bill was presented as a conformity measure to align statutes with the House proposed General Appropriations Act. The sponsor did not offer amendments, and the meeting record shows the measure advanced from committee with a favorable report. The subcommittee did not discuss implementation steps or department-level instructions at the hearing; any administrative details or statutory text changes will appear in the bill file and committee analysis.
