Virginia House Proposes State Employee Retirement Plan
Three delegates introduce a bill to establish a joint state employee retirement system costing about 414000 per year. Employees would contribute 2.51 to 6.39 percent, with voluntary retirement unless department heads certifying inefficiency are retained for ten years. The measure excludes heads over 65, potentially affecting 70+ heads, and follows age and service tables prepared by Edwards subcommittee. The tax and funding questions add to the 1936 38 budget.
