State pension reform faces hurdles as House shifts risk
House lawmakers back a mixed 401 k style plan shifting some pension risk away from the state but critics warn of administrative complexity and possible underfunding. The bill aims to curb a roughly $55 billion pension debt while Senate leaders weigh changes.Gov. Tom Wolf supports the broader budget pact that funds record school spending. Senate and House debate whether elected officials should be auto enrolled or opt in, with changes to allow opt outs post election. Payments and funding gaps loom as next year’s obligations rise despite reform efforts.
