Legislature Airs Teacher Retirement Plan in Arkansas
A joint legislative committee in Little Rock held exhaustive discussion on merging state teacher retirement with Social Security. The plan would raise benefits and add Social Security deductions, with final action dependent on legislative approval and a voter referendum. Some provisions reduce retirement benefits on new assessable salaries after July 1, while pre July 1 earnings remain unaffected. The discussion included calls for diversifying the Teacher Retirement Board’s investments and consideration by Gov Faubus and the Arkansas AM&N College board.
