OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -
Oklahoma lawmakers are planning to take an in-depth look at the state's
pension systems and seek new ways to reduce the unfunded liability of
the major systems.
The House Pension Oversight
Committee will meet Thursday at the state Capitol for a pair of interim
studies on the state's pension systems. Both were requested by state
Rep. Randy McDaniel, the chairman of the committee.
McDaniel spearheaded a host
of changes two years ago to shore up the unfunded liability of the
state's pensions by increasing the retirement age for new hires and
changing how the state provides cost of living adjustments for retirees.
But a number of changes
McDaniel sought last year for the state's pension systems for
firefighters and law enforcement personnel were unsuccessful.
