          PENSION NOTE (Pension Laws Commission)                               
          The total fiscal impact of HB 615 cannot be determined, as the       
          amount of credit that would be purchased is unknown. However,        
          the amount paid to purchase the service credit may not equal         
          the total cost of establishing the additional service credit.        
          Employees are required to make the employee and employer con-        
          tributions, plus interest. Members of TRS are required to pay        
          6% interest compounded annually while members of CTRS are re-        
          quired to pay 5% interest compounded annually. Both interest         
          rates are lower than the actuarial rate of return assumed by         
          the Systems, which is 8.5% for TRS and 8.0% for CTRS.
