According to the news report, the bill will put the New Hampshire Retirement System on more sturdy ground by:  

  • Shifting the system to a universally recognized accounting method;
  • Setting new limits on the diversion of retirement fund money into a special account; and
  • Eliminating a provision that allowed extra compensation to be counted toward retirement benefits.

The legislation will now re-enter the House, because the Senate made some revisions to the original bill.
