Became law

This already passed. Here's what you can still do.

1. Push for repeal or amendment

Legislative staff still count constituent contacts on enacted laws. A steady mail stream is what gets a bill onto the next session's repeal docket. Pick “Oppose” below and the message will frame the ask around repeal, amendment, or enforcement relief.

3. Tell people the bill affects

Most people don't hear about a state-level bill until enforcement starts. A short note now (not a thread, just a link) gives the people most affected time to plan.

Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill establishes the Retirement Benefit Improvement Fund, an interest-bearing fund designed to increase cost-of-living adjustments for retired state employees and teachers. Each year, a portion of the General Fund's unappropriated surplus will be transferred to this fund. When the fund has enough money to increase the cost-of-living adjustment by at least $500, the retirement system will apply this increase to benefits.
